Seminar September 2013 - Redfishing

This Thursday evening, the 5th of September, @ 6PM at The Clearwater West Marine Store, I will be giviing a seminar on redfishing. Usually, as waters begin to cool down this time of year, redfishing heats up...at least until the real cold arrives. I'll discuss techniques used to catch these fish as well as the types of areas to target. As always, free pizza, drinks and some store give aways will be offered by West Marine. I look forward to seeing you there.

Fishing Rods for Sale / Split Cost Fishing Charters

Tampa Fishing Charters for BIG seatrout I have three Daiwa Model CL-CC701 HFS rods available for sale. I use these rods for kingfish, cobia or when fishing for larger snook. They are 7 feet long, heavy action and are good for throwing larger live baits. Rods are a little over a year old and in good condition. I typically use 20 lbs test and a 6000 series reel with these. I'll sell them for $40 each, or, if you take all 3, $100.

Also, if any of you are interested in splitting the cost of a fishing charter with someone in September, let me know. The cost for a split charter is half the cost of a normal charter plus $25, so a 4, 6 and 8 hour split charter would cost $237, $287 and $337 respectively. If you would like to bring another person with you, add $25. If you are interested in having me set up a split cost charter for you, please supply me with the possible dates that you could go and how many hours you would like to fish. Thank you.

Seminar August 2013 - What to Catch in the Heat of Summer

This Thursday Evening, August 1st, at 6PM at the West Marine Store in Clearwater, I will be giving a seminar on "What to Catch in the Heat of Summer". As we move into August, many anglers lessen their fishing efforts based on the belief that fishing is just tougher during summer's heat. Certainly it is when compared to the awesome fishing available from late March thru mid July, but there are many opportunities for those who still want to go out and bend a rod. I'll discuss several species which are still available to be caught as well as the best techniques to track them down. West Marine will provide free drinks and pizza as well as a few store give aways. I look forward to seeing you there.
