Magic Trick
Pulled a rabbit out today! Found trout, drum, flounder, rock, and black drum! Major Grand Slam. Not all big but lot better than what has been the usual. Robert Maner and his 2 sons Grant and Sam from Chattanooga Tenn. did a great job today learning how to catch our fish. Came home with a meal for them and me and a great memory to carry on. Only wish they didn’t have to see the crappy waterread full article

Summer Duldrums
The heat and West winds suck - fishing has been tough to say the least even for avide anglers. The Big Drum should be in REAL soon as menhaden are moving in. That will give us the excitement we need.

June Report
Plenty of short trout – just short – around for a fun day. DOA CAL Shad Tail and Deadly Combo Shrimp nailing them. Few legals and from what I hear all loaded for spawn!!!!!! Dad Dave was a tough nut to crack but Got Him!
He had a “I can’t catch a fish” tude! Finally he hooked up and game on after that. Fun day before wind got up – Oh, tiny croakers even like DOA CAL Arkansas Glow Shad Tails.
