What’s up fish n geeks, It’s been a minute, I’m a little rusty at this. Just because I haven’t posted in a while though, doesn’t mean I haven’t kept up with my lurking. Stay creepin. […]

Whats up fishin geeks, Another week of mixed conditions. On one hand we have had lots of wind, which isn’t the end of the world while inshore fishing but makes things a little tricky. On […]

Whats up fish n geeks, this week I woke up early (for me) and tried my hand at some morning fishing. You’d think being a teacher / fisherman I would be a morning person, but I can’t hang. I have to admit though the majority of the time I wake up early to go fishing the juice is worth the squeeze.

This week I have been taking advantage of the “work from home” orders and I’ve been hitting the water as soon as the work is done. It’s been windy all week, coming from different directions […]

Thanks to the great quarantine of 2020, I’ve been working from home and have been able to socially distance myself from time to time via watercraft. But in all seriousness, I haven’t really left my house other than grabbing the essentials in about a month. So it was nice to get out and get some fresh air for the first time in a while. You can tell by a few of the casts in the beginning and throughout the video, I’m pretty rusty. I hit more docks, snagged more mangroves, and scared more wildlife than what was shown but you get the idea.

It seems like the window for fishing the last couple of weekends has been small when trying to avoid winds and rough conditions in the river. Luckily the wind laid down for a bit one day after work this week, so I decided to give it go.

As you can tell from the beginning of the video, I spent this week chasing a lot of shadows, logs and large mullet stacking up under docks haha. I spent the majority of my time scouting areas that I’ve fished before and seeing how the fish were reacting to the current wind/water temperature.

Due to the recent weather conditions, I decided to stop by Man Overboard Bait and Tackle and give live shrimp fishing a try. I usually prefer artificial or free lining big live baits, but live shrimp fishing is something I’ve only done a couple of times and the conditions seemed right. I spent a lot of time this week dodging the wind, looking for shorelines that had wind protrotecton and good sun exposure.

This week I decided to take my boat to Sunday brunch. So naturally, I brought a fishing pole along with a couple of my favorite speckled trout lures with me. Along the way, I found a creek mouth that was protected from the northern wind, so I decided to check it out. Upon further inspection, the creek had a lot of good structure for predator fish to stalk bait that was being pushed in by strong wind current. The creek bottom varied in depth from 1ft-4ft and had a mucky bottom, which is also good for holding heat on these colder, post-front days.

I’m not gonna lie, besides a couple of trips I kind of packed it in last year and sipped on my “hot chocolate” until the early spring came along. This year I plan on continuing […]
