Weekend fishing POC and Seadrift
We checked in to the Reel Time Lodge in Seadrift mid-afternoon Friday prepared to chase redfish until dark. We put the boat in the water and, nothing. Motor would start up fine but not keep running. Perhaps we were ahead of ourselves and jinxed our luck by already planning to have Bubba’s cook our catch. Well,…

Great day on the water
It started off slow with the calm conditions, then we had to dodge some rain. By late morning till about 1:30 we found the bite. It was a mix of smalls and keepers, mostly ranging from 17-19″. Working areas of crotch deep grass beds throwing DSL red/white, strawberry wine, and plum did the trick. We…

Did a little fun fishing today with good friend Chris Cady, he found some very solid fish on topwaters, and I had them thumping DSL soft plastics. Our wades were concentrated over sand/grass from knee…

THE GUIDE REPORT THURSDAY – Sept 20th Capt. Stephen Boriskie – Another good day of fishing with the boys, and while the fish eluded us we didn’t wait long before chasing after them.

DSL Chicken of the C strikes again!
Good to be back on the water after some much needed rain! With the wind starting low we were able to walk a reef on our fisrt wade, with good numbers of 17-20″ trout. Once the wind picked up we headed to the sand pockets of the shorelines. There we walked into several trout in…

Higher Tides Bring Fall Action at Bay Flats Lodge Resort & Marina
WEDNESDAY’S SCOUTING REPORT By: Capt. Chris Martin While on a Wednesday scouting session, I dialed-in several areas that needed to be investigated, especially with the bull tides we’re seeing right now.

Grinding out the trout bite
The full moon may have got the better of us this time, but it’s always a fun couple of days when these boys come down. As expected the bite was on from sun up until about 10:30 for 16-20″ trout, then it died both days. But that didn’t slow us down. We tried many different…
