I have been so busy runnning charters that I have not posted a report in a few weeks. The fishing has been hot and will get even better in August. I have had more lady anglers cacth big reds this year than ever before. We have landed several reds over 40 pounds and quite a few over 30 pounds. The Slobberknocker redfish have been eating live and cut bait. A few have been landed on the MirrOLure 17 MR MirrODine. This little plug is the hottest artificial bait on the lagoon.

We also have a whole bunch of picky tarpon around. They have been verry difficult to catch. We have jumped a few but they have yet to make it to the boat. Ladyfish have been a blast and the trout bite has been solid. The MirrODine has been used to catch all of these fish. Now is the time to book for August. CAll 407-405-0819!
