Fishing Report 10/14/05 - Early Morning Tailing Bones
Today I awoke at about 5:30 A.M. with the same excitement and anticipation I had as a little boy going fishing with a cane pole and a soup can full of worms. The temperature was 80 degrees with absolutely no movement of air at all. My skiff left the dock at 6:40 A.M. while it was still almost dark. After only a ten minute boat ride I arrived at a nearby flat at first light. The sun had not yet begun to crest the horizon. Still not a breath of wind. As I began to pole across the flat I immediately spotted a single tailing bonefish about 70 yards away. As I approached my first target I saw other bonefish on the flat as well many others! My excitement was hard to contain. As I stripped line off the reel in anticipation of my first cast, I had visions of this 10 pounder ripping line off my fly reel deep into my backing. My first cast surprisingly, was as good as I can make. Under these flat calm conditions I placed the smallest fly I had about 10 feet in front of this fish. When the fly line touched the water he spooked as if I had thrown a rock at his head. I decided then to put the stake in the ground at let the others work their way up the flat towards me. Within minutes I had 4 tailers working the flat 50 feet from my boat and many others still coming. At that moment in time my surroundings seemed almost surreal. Only in a dream could I find myself in a similar situation. The water was flat calm and the smallest crown of sun had just begun to appear above the horizon. The orange colors of the morning sunrise as they reflected off the smooth water were simply beautiful. There was not a sound to be heard and not another skiff in sight. Bonefish were now tailing in all directions. Several within easy casting range. As I sipped my coffee and watched this unfold, I could only wish I had someone on my boat to witness it. Today I had no angler. I was fishing by myself. I chose not to make another cast and risk blowing out every fish on that flat This simply was too beautiful a sight to disturb. I found myself more interested in observing these amazing creatures in this pristine setting than tempting one with a fly. I felt very grateful to simply be here and watch. It lasted only about 20 minutes. As the sun rose above the horizon a little breeze picked up. The colors of the morning faded. Another skiff roared down the channel nearby and the bonefish slowly disappeared. As I have gotten older, I ve learned that success can be measured in many ways. It s not always about what you catch. More importantly, it s about what you experience. Today I was so moved by what I experienced that I had to come home and write about it. Twenty years ago I would have done the obvious thing and immediately cast at two or three more of those fish before spooking every single one of them off the flat and I would never have gotten to witness and appreciate what I did today. However, my experience this morning is now carved so deeply into my mind that years from now I will remember it as if it were yesterday. Now that s the sign of a good day. No, I didn t catch a bonefish this morning, but it was one of the most rewarding days I can remember. How many times do you feel that way before 7:30 in the morning? Captain Bob Jones

Trout Fishing with Megabait Charlie Swimbaits

Fishing Report 12/12/05 - Santee December 2005
The largemouth bass have been hitting very well the past couple of trips. We had 13 on 1 trip and 9 on the next. The fish have been coming from 10-15′ of water around drop offs and creek channels. Most of the fish have come on crankbaits but we have also picked up some on carolina rigs. Over the next few weeks the fish should move closer to the heavy cover and hold very tight to it. December usually yeilds some really good fish. We had 1 around 9 lbs. on the 1st. day of the month. On the suuny days the fish will be setting right in top of the brush and will be hunkered down in it on the cloudy ones. Slow methodical probing will produce some good big fish action. The crappie fishing has been good on the days the wind hasn’t blown. On a recent trip we had a 3.25 lbs. with a couple more over 2 lbs. The fish have been coming from brush in 25′ of water. Most of the fish have come on minnows but we have also been taking some on jigs. As the water cools more the jig will most likely produce more fish. A very slow presentation will be best. The bream fishing has been excellent. We have limited out almost every trip. We are catching the Bluegills around brush in 15-25′ water on crickets. The Shell crackers have been on deep ledges and fish over 3 lbs. are being caught, using worms on a drop shot rig. The stripers are starting to school some late in the day but they are not feeding heavyly. With a few more days of cold weather they should become more active. Last year my best trips were from the middle of December until the first of Feburary. The catfishing in the upper lakes has been pretty slow but I hear they are picking up somewhat. The Lower lake has been on fire with lots of really big fish biting.<br><br><img src=’http://www.fishingguidenetwork.com/reports/photos/133/102/000_0081A.JPG’>

Fishing Report - Indian River Lagoon Fishing Report
Fishing conditions on the IRL coast have shown significant improvement since the passing of Hurricane Wilma, with the bite improving as well. Water levels are still high and higher levels of tannic stained runoff (brown water) are still present, but in most areas of the lagoon, the water clarity is improving nicely. <br /> <br /> This past week a high-pressure system dominated our weather bringing magnificently sunny days, gentle northeast breezes, and mild temperatures, but the high pressure and turbid water made catching tough early in the week. As the week progressed, the bite improved.<br /> <br /> On Friday, I fish with a group of 40 guides supporting the Ring Power convention organized by Captain Tom Carver. The event was set up as a mini slot redfish tournament, and out of all those boats, Captain Mark Wright took top hook with five slot redfish. Our only slot fish was caught by working a green weed less Ribbit Frog made by Stanley Jigs early in the day on the edge of the mangroves. <br /> <br /> On Saturday, I fished a two-boat charter with Captain Kevin Mulligan. My anglers were John Kroger and his fishing buddy Mike from Denver. We started the day fly-fishing at the south power plant in Port Saint John, and we worked over the ladyfish for a good hour before John and Mike had enough. While on the subject of the power plants, they are currently loaded with ladyfish and jacks, but the manatee restrictions go in effect on November 15th, so if you enjoy the continues action of fishing the outflows, you only have a few days left. After we departed the power plant, we headed to the east shore where we ended up catching eight slot redfish and several nice sea trout between us. Sight fishing was tough due to the water conditions, so we opted to soaking ladyfish chunks in areas of bait schools in about two feet of water.<br /> <br /> On Sunday, I fished a four hour charter with Steve Smith and his good friend Jim, and we started the morning working jigs with RipTide 4 Swimming Mullet at the power plant, and they warmed up on the fast and furious action of the ladyfish. Once Jim and Steve grew tired of the slaughter, we moved to the east shore for some top-water trout action. While polling into the flat, I spotted school of sizable reds in deeper water, but before we could poll into position, a lagoonoramus in a johnboat blew across the school sounding them. For the next hour we quietly waited for their return, but again before we could get within casting range another boat buzzed the area. We finally staked out in the vicinity and chunked out ladyfish, and we ended the day with one break off, 15 hard heads, several sizable sea trout, and one nice 20-pound redfish.<br /> <br /> On a side note, remember that spotted sea trout are out of season in November and December, and you should have seen the look on the face of the unacquainted angler cleaning trout at the dock at Port Saint John, when the FWC Officer walked up and informed him of the regulations with a ticket.<br /> <br /> As always, if you have any questions or need information, please contact me.<br /> <br /> Good luck and good fishing,<br /> <br /> Captain Tom Van Horn<br /> www.irl-fishing.com<br /> 407-366-8085 office<br /> 407-416-1187 on the water<br /> 866-790-8081 toll free

Salmon continue to pour in, late for the season, but it’s all good as we project good fishing through November, before the winter Steelhead run starts in earnest.<br /> <br /> Reserve a spot now to float this wild fish river, one of only a few in California.<br /> <br /> Tight Lines!
