Christmas is over now and we had several very nice days' last week weather wise and fishing wise!!!

I can't say the same for this week because the forecast is not looking very good. I always love to start the new year out with a fishing trip but if the forecast holds the boat will stay on the hill New Years day. They have been wrong before…

The Trout have been on fire like I always say most of them are small this time of year but when you can catch 30 to 50 of them in a few hours throwing plastics WHO CARES. Bending a rod is always better than not! And if you like to eat them we have been mixing in a handful of keepers.

The Drum seemed to have picked back up a little bit and the large Reds gave me a quick bite the other day also.

It's hard to stare at 6 to 8 pound Red fish swimming around your baits and not even paying attention to them. The one fish I did hook up the other day was 8lbs and I bet I thru at him 10 times before he decided to pick it up. That one fish was well worth the hour we sat on that school of fish.

I wish every one a happy New Year and I'll see you on the water!

Bio: Being a native of Northeast Florida I have enjoyed the excellent fishing and wildlife this area has to offer. I have been fishing the Jacksonville Florida area over 30 years with many a memorable fishing trip starting when I was a kid. We are in between and only minutes away from Amelia Island and St. Augustine, we can enjoy the fishing any direction. From downtown to the mouth of the ocean and all the back water in between.
