Capt Wes’ Fishing Archives: Jan 06 - July 07

Wind was blowing sporty out of the east at 15 plus. Jeff and his anglers agreed with the captain…if we are going to fish we need to fish in Perdido Bay. We used berkley gulps in many flavors with ¼ oz jig heads. We fished the mud flats and stumps retrieving the gulps along the bottom.

Our stringer at the end of the day:

0 specks
0 redfish
0 flounder
1 black drum
4 sailcats

A very tough day of fishing!

Here is Bill with the best moment of the day. A nice black drum.

I fish with Terry and Mainor from Michigan. They did the deep sea fishing days earlier but wanted to try something that was less a work out and could fight a few saltwater specimens on some ultralight tackle. Well as you know the shoreline in the gulf was full of these specimen!

We started the day out with some softbody action for specks. We caught six before the bite slowed.

We moved to the gulf and found plenty of Spanish, bluerunners and bluefish.

I had the pleasure of fishing with my good friend Bill today. We were expecting some stiff winds but never got them. We captured this beautiful sunrise as we turned in the narrows.

We had a dozen shrimp and took the first out of the bag and cut it into 4 pieces. Bill dropped down using a #2 circle hook with a 20-inch flora carbon leader and a ¼ oz egg weight. He was quickly on.

After several runs to the pier Bill bags a nice frying size redfish.

Bill grabbed the second piece of shrimp and wow two for two on the same shrimp.

Bill with a nice black drum.

Ok so what would the third piece of shrimp produce? Another nice black drum. Then Bill grabbed the last piece of the first shrimp and yes you guessed it on again!

Bill has a sheephead

Well we catch a couple of more sheephead and Spanish and end up with a nice stringer of fish for the frying pan.

Until our next fishing adventure…tight lines!

I fished today with my new anglers Morgan (dad), son Greg and his friend Preston.

We started the day fishing the flats in hope of a nice gator trout on topwater. Here Greg and dad are working topwater chugbugs looking for their first explosion.

Greg has a nice explosion! After a good battle he boats this nice speck.

We started trolling speck rigs and dad quickly got hooked up with the first spanish of the day.

We spot some fish striking on top and Greg quickly gets bowed up with a very nice fish. It turns out to be a sailcat.

Greg and Preston are both bowed up with spanish.

We caught all the spanish we needed so we started sight fishing for schools of BIG BLUES. Here is a school in formation.

After sight fishing for BIG BLUES we decided to yet change gears again. I re-rigged the poles with #1/0 circle hooks, 17lb fluorocarbon leader 20 inches long with a one-ounce egg weight. We used cut shrimp as bait. We found our spot and began drifting. On our first drop we had a triple hook up on sheephead

We caught a dozen sheephead and decided to change gears one more time. I had dad rig up his fly rod with a white/green clouser minnow. We were headed back to the flats. A few casts later and dad had his first saltwater fish bowing his rod. A really nice Spanish!

Back at the dock we have a nice stinger of fish for a good ole fish fry.

Wow…one great day on the water!

Until our next fishing adventure…tight lines!

Ok…we had Bart and Natalie and Tony and Jill. Now as we drifted a nice mud flat I found out real quick that there was plenty of competion between the two married couples. It was the “boys” against the “girls”. Now it seemed that the “boys” were beating up pretty bad the “girls” in all card and board games at home. Now if that was not bad both Bart and Tony took over the front of the boat for the fishing competion. Ok so lets see how this plays out.

Well here is Jill with the first of several nice specks. Girls one boys zero.

Now i believe the score is girls 3 and boys zero. Then Bart landes this nice flounder. Girls three boys one.

Wow here is Natalie with a whopper of a speck! Girls five boys one. Good thing the “boys” brought the “girls” or Bart would need to go to Joe Pattie’s for fresh fish.

Oh boy here is Jill with another nice speck. Girls six boys one.

Finally Bart with a speck. Girls six and boys two.

Bart with a redfish. Boys three and girls six. Boys making a come back and starting to talk trash.

Now we had not herd much out of Tony other than he is a funny guy. He said he had a few strikes but we never saw his pole bend. Then I called last cast and wouldn’t you know Tony is hooked up with his first fish of the day. Soon he had it in the boat. Boys four and Girls six.

A valent effort on the “boys” part but they come up short and the “girls” WIN!!!!

Until our next fishing adventure…tight lines!

Went down to see the FLW on the second day. Wow, some really nice boats!

Here is Blair Wiggens talking with some of the anglers on how big his fish are which put him into Saturday’s championship round.

This is Seth Currie the son of one of my very best friends, Glenn Currie. Seth was on Scott Guthery’s boat. Scott needed another angler on boat to allow him the possibility to return with two redfish. Scott’s team mate Rick Murphy was not able to make the trip. Capt Rick has the Chevy Fishing Report which airs on Thursday.

Eric and Sonny, two local boys who were in 12th after the first day.

Now this is a row of boats.

This is how the weigh in the fish.

Here is Seth and Scott waiting for their turn to weigh.

Scott and Seth had one fish to weigh and scored a total of 12 lbs for two days of fishing.

What a sunrise!

What a Dad and son moment!

Grant is all bowed up with his first fish of the morning.

A real nice bluefish.

Grant is on again…

…and lands this nice spanish for the supper table.

Well, dad shakes the skunk off with this ladyfish.

Grant comes right back with a ladyfish of his own!

Plenty of fish and a great ending to another great fishing adventure!
