The past week or 2 the reds at low water and high have been going nuts. Low water the fish are charging the shrimp hard, in groups of 3-5 fish flying down the flats with birds working over them. On the tailing tides we have been seeing a good number of reds tailing,with great succcess rate to boot. Last sunday John Kennedy and his buddy nailed 5 fish That’s great in the grass, the same night I talked to Jim Mercer and he had informed me they nailed 9 reds in the grass!! The past few hurricanes passing by stirred the water enough to cool it a bit and the fish have taken advantage of this. Speaking of hurricanes Jim Cantore of the Weather channel really chafs my *#@ What a spank ! I think the guy finds any puddle with some wind and rain and blows it up in dramatic fasion.

Been so busy busting tarpon on the fly I haven’t spent to much time on the reds, but with the ocean lighting up from hurricane Danielle it’s back inshore. Steve L and I started off with clods and light winds and some nice shots at triple tail, had one hooked up on fly and he came unbuttoned. Same thing with a nice red, Checked the hook, looked good. Just bad luck I suppose. After the wind picked up we began to struggle a bit. Having a few shots but not hooking up we decided to head to a top secret location. Holly!@#$ the fish were running up and down the bank busting baits!! We managed 5 fish out of the flat and had a blast watching. At one point we had groups of 5 to 10 fish all the way down the flat with their backs out of the water. Skinny water fishing at it’s finest

Yesterday headed out for some poon action, and what looked to be a tough day tunred out o k. Did a bit mor looking but when we found them I would say we found a shit can of them. At one point it was like being in the middle of 100lbs spanish mackeral, fish were flying everywhere. My guy jumped one fish around 100lbs. The fish ran right at the boat and under than back out and jumped 10ft off the bow. We had a second fish eat, but he ran right at the boat again and we couldn’t stay tight. Yesterday made for 11 tarpon jumped all on fly for the month of August.

Good gosh!!

jump baby

: Terry Gibson all hooked up

Sight Casting Tarpon on the Georgia coast is in full swing!! Terry Gibson and myself show up in a n area that has had a good number of fish busting baits and rolling.Guess what happen ? No bait and we were not seeing any signs of tarpon. I tell Terry we should hang and wait, since there has been plenty fish in the area the past few days and they may show. An hour later we see the first fish roll, then another just floating 30′ away with his tail out!! We make a cast a the tailing tarpon, the fish swings on the fly and misses. Dag nabbit! But wait, he pops back up and is tailing again. About that time here come 2 more fish cruising cutting huge wakes. I tell Terry 2 wakes at 12 o’clock. Terry places the fly in the perfect spot, as soon as the fly hits the water one of th fish eats. Terry comes tight and all hell breaks loose. Terry’s fish is about 80-100lbs and going nuts!! 45 minutes later we leader the fish and in doing so break his 12 wt. Terry and myself have also had some epic red fishing on top water. Using poppers yesterday we caught 7 or 8 reds, and had a blast watching them blast the top.

Stick ‘m

Jim Mercer stick’n it to a 80-100lbs tarpon. This fish was the perfect shot, fish riding high with fins out. Jim made a perfect cast and BAM!! Got a few jumps and he was gone. Beware plenty of guides advertising they are fly fishing guides in the savannah area, even if I’m booked I can set ya up with a qualified fly fishing guide.

Tarpon!!

Tarpon on fly!

: Jim Gillmore

Been chasing the heck out of nice reds in some skinny water, Cain had a great day with a lost count of fish caught on fly and so many shots. We also had some shots a tarpon but the storms chased us off and upon our return no more tarpon. Tarpon ar bang n around half the gig is finding them they usually are willing to eat a fly once found. Jim Gilmore and I today caught one red in some pretty windy conditions, had plenty of shots but off colored water and wind made it a bit tough

Yesterday I bet we did not get to fish 30 minutes and we busted 3 nice fish tail’n. Damn storms kept blowing up all around us making it very interesting. Here is Tommy Webster with one of his three fish in thirty minutes.

Look out for that lightning

Hell Yea!!

Been having a good bit of fun chasing dem dar spot tail bass. Finally I have some pics with adam johnson holding a few nice reds. Headed to some nice backcountry area that see’s very little fishing presure and managed to see a good bit of fish and excercise a few as well.

Adam Johnson holding bruiser

Remember there are some guides in the Savannah area try to soak up some fly fishing business, One claims he can take ya on some back country fly fishing trips, there is no back country in or near savannah, and if there was he’d more than likley get lost. Money isn’t easy to come by these days. If I’m booked please contact me a nd I will get you hooked up with a quality guide That knows the deal. Big sea pro boats are not the craft of choice for any fly fishing guide or fly angler. Reds are getting tougher to catch and having the propper boat will only enhance your your success.
