I WILL BE RUNNING A SPECIAL IN MAY FOR BACK AND FRESHWATER TRIPS. THE REGULAR PRICE IS $200.00 FOR ONE PERSON AND $300.00 FOR TWO PEOPLE. THIS MONTH THE PRICE WILL BE $150.00 FOR ONE AND $200.00 FOR TWO PEOPLE. THIS IS A GOOD MONTH FOR BOTH BACKWATER AND FRESHWATER. THE TROUT AND FLOUNDER ARE GOING GOOD IN THE BACKWATER, AND THE BREAM ARE STARTING TO BED IN THE FRESHWATER. ALSO THE CRAPPIE ARE ON THE BED NOW ALONG WITH THE LARGEMOUTH BASS. THE WATER IS BEHIND ON TEMP. ABOUT 3 WEEKS, SO EVER THING IS LATER. WE HAVE BEEN GETTING GOOD CATCHES OF BASS ON TOP WATER THE PASS 2 WEEKS. THE CRAPPIE ARE REALLY NICE THIS WINTER AND SPRING WITH A LOT OF 1 TO 2 POUND FISH BEING CAUGHT. SO GET YOUR LIGHT TACKEL RODS OUT OR COME AND USE MINE, AND LETS GET THEM BENDING. BUSTER   (THESE ARE 6 HOUR TRIPS )

ON FRIDAY WE HAD A GROUP OF 3 FROM NY. SHAWN INGRAM AND HIS TWO SONS. THEY WANTED ACTION , THE SEABASS DID THAT FOR THEM. THEY  BOATED OVER 200 ALONG WITH TROUT. LOTS OF 11 TO 11 1/2 INCHERS.  WE ENDED UP WITH A FAIR CATCH OF NICE BASS SOME IN THE 14 1/2 INCH SIZE. NO THROW BACK WITH THE TROUT OVER 14 INCHS. LOTS OF FUN FOR THE BOYS AND GOOD ACTION. WE FISHED 2 1/2 HOURS AND THE ACTION NEVER STOPPED. THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE BACK NEXT YEAR TO DO IT AGAIN. NICE PEOPLE AND GOOD TIME OUT ON THE WATER. BUSTER

ON FRIDAY WE HEADED OUT TO SEE IF THE TROUT WERE ON THE BITE  FOR THE SPRING. WE HAD LOTS OF ACTION ON ARTIFICALS, EVEN CATCHING 2 FLOUNDER ON THEM. WE DID SOME CHANGES AS FOR COLOR TO GET WHAT THEY WERE HOTTEST ON. FOR TODAY IT WAS BLACK AND WHITE. WE GOT 5 KEEPERS, ONE OVER 3 LBS. WE LOST TWO MORE NEAR THE BOAT IN THE 3 LB. CLASS. WE RELEASED 5 SMALL ONES IN THE 12 TO 13 INCH SIZE. WE FISHED FOR 3 HOURS AND THINGS STARTED TO SLOW DOWN WITH THE TIDE CHANGE. WE PACKED UP AND HEADED UP RIVER TO THE FRESH WATER, OR I SHOULD SAY BRACKEST WATER FOR SOME BASS FISHING. THE WIND HAD GOTTEN UP SO THINGS WERE NOT AS GOOD AS IF WE HAD CLAM WINDS. WE DID GET 4 NICE FISH AND MISSED A COUPLE MORE GOOD FISH. WE RELEASED 3 MORE UNDER 14 INCHES. A GOOD DAY OF FISHING AND GOOD ONE OUTSIDE WITH NATURE. IT SEEMS OUR FRESHWATER AND BACKWATER TRIPS ARE GOING BETTER THIS YEAR THAN THE SALTWATER CHARTERS AS FOR NOW WITH THE WATER TEMP. BEING DOWN BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. AT LEAST I”M NOT GETTING BEAT UP IN THESE 20 TO 25 KNTS. WINDS AND STILL CATCHING FISH WITH SOME VERY NICE CUSTOMERS. I HADN”T HAD THE FIRST SICK ONE YET. BUSTER

ON SUNDAY I CARRIED THE GUY I HAD FOR SATURDAY, THE WIND WAS TO HIGH ON SAT. WE WENT TO A SMALL LAKE AND WENT BASS FISHING . THOMAS GATES  FROM SANFORD WAS REALLY INTO THE BASS FISHING. WE STARTED AT 7:00 AM. AND THE BASS WERE ON THE BITE, WE GOT 4 BEFORE WE GOT 200 YARDS FROM THE RAMP. THEY KEPT IT UP ALL MORNING. ABOUT 12:30 THINGS SLOWED DOWN, BY THIS TIME WE HAD 11 BASS OVER 14 INCHES WITH THE LARGEST 19  AND A HALF. WE LET 7 IN THE 12 INCH CLASS GO FOR ANOTHER DAY. FAR BETTER DAY THAN LAST TRIP, THE WATER WAS 74 DEGREES SO ITS TIME. DON”T HAVE ANOTHER FRESH WATER TRIP UNTIL NEXT WEEK, MAYBE SOMEONE WILL CALL AND I CAN GET BACK ON THESE FISH.  BUSTER

THIS WEEK WE ARE OFFERING A $400,00 TRIP FOR  $300.00 . THIS IS A HALFDAY TRIP BOTTOM FISHING FOR BASS AND SHARK. WE ARE OFFERING THIS BECAUSE THE BASS ARE IN CLOSE NOW SINCE THE WATER IS WARMING. ALL TACKEL BAIT AND ICE ARE FURNISHED ON THIS HALFDAY TRIP.  BUSTER

CARRYED TWO FISHING  FOR BREAM, ONE A SMALL BOY. HE HAD A BALL. WE CAUGHT OVER 50 BREAM AND 4 BASS. THEY WERE FROM WEAT VIG. AND WANTER TO JUST CATCH SOME FISH AND BE OUT ON THE RIVER WHERE IT WAS WARM TO THEM. SAID THEY HAD HAD A LONG WINTER UP THERE ALSO. THE BREAM WERE NOT THE LARGR ONES THAT WILL BE BITTING ON THE NEXT FULL MOON BUT AROUND A HALF POUND EACH. LOTS FUN ON BREAM BUSTER POLES WITH 6 POUND LINE, THEY CAN SING THAT LINE THROUGH THE WATER. NICE GUYS AND LOTS FUN.  BUSTER

ON MONDAY WE GOT A EARLY START TO LAKE TABOR. A REAL NICE DAY, WITH LIGHT WINDS AND SUNNY. WE STARTED OFF AFTER CRAPPIE WITH LIVE BAIT. THE FIRST HOUR ONLY YIELED ONE CRAPPIE AND ONE LARGE BREAM. SO MADE A SWITCH TO ARTIFICALS. THEY WERE HITTING THESE FAIR BUT NOT HARD ENOUGH TO HANG THEM, WITH SMALL THUMPS. ANOTHER HOUR GONE BY AND ONLY 2 MORE CRAPPIE. MADE ANOTHER CHANGE TO BASS FISHING , GOT A COUPLE OF 13 INCHERS TO THROW BACK PRETTY QUICK. THEN FINALLY A NICE ONE FOUR POUNDS PLUS A COUPLE OUNCES. THEN THINGS SLOWED DOWN AND WE WENT BACK TO BREAM FISHING AND CAUGHT 5 MORE BREAM AND ONE CATFISH 5 POUNDS. WE KNOCKED OFF IN THE 6 HOURS WITH A COUPLE NICE FISH AND 5 BREAM AND 3 CRAPPIE. THEY WERE NOT ON FIRE BUT SOME ACTION AND LOTS FUN WITH THE TWO LARGER FISH. BUSTER

ON THE 1 ST WE WENT OUT IN THE 10 MILE AREA AND GOT ON THE  BLACK BASS AND SPINEY AND SMOOTH DOGFISH. THE ACTION WAS FAIR, LOTS OF BASS, ABOUT 20% KEEPERS. LIMIT ON DOGFISH AS USUAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE WATER IS STILL 6 OR SO DEGREES BEHIND NORMAL, WITH 55 DEGREES AT THE INLET IN THE MORNING WHEN WE LEFT. 57 OUT 10 MILES, BUT NOT BUT 65 10 MILES SOUTH OF THE TOWER. NEED SOME WARM DAYS LIKE YESTERDAY AND TODAY. THE SPANISH MACKERAL SHOULD BE ON THERE WAY UP NOW. ALSO THE BLUEFISH SHOULD BE HITTING THE SURF SOON. BUSTER

ON THE 31ST. WE WENT TO THE RIVER, GETTING THERE AT 7:00 AM. THINGS DID NOT LOOK GOOD, BUT PUT THE BOAT IN AND WENT UP RIVER AND CHECKED A COUPLE HOLES. THE FULL MOON NAD THE WATER OUT IN THE WOODS, NO CRAPPIE, SO TRIED ANOTHER HOLE, NOTHING THERE ON THE BITE EITHER. I HAD TIM , WHO WAS UP FROM LOUISANA AND WANTING TO CATCH SOME FRESHWATER FISH, WITH ME. SO WE WENT BACK TO THE BOAT RAMP AND LOADED AND HEADED TO THE LAKE. ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY. WE GOT THERE AND GOT IN THE WATER AND HAD ACTION REAL QUICK. WE GOT SOME CRAPPIE AND BASS. ENDED UP FAIR WITH SOME NICE FISH, ABOUT 20 LBS OF THEM. GOOD ACTION HERE OFF AND ON. ARTIFICALS DID THE DO THIS DAY, WITH TOP WATER DOING GOOD ON THE BASS.   BUSTER
