The Month of July

1st mate Mike Parks instructs Chris Perkins on how to attract women by coating yourself in a 50 lb bass.

This month has seen some amazing fishing. The heat waves bring out the fatso fish looking for an easy meal, and our bucktails are like deep fried bacon wrapped oreo cookies to them. Look for this to happen more and more as August heats up...

Anna Regan says: "Thank you again for an awesome day today! I have never had the luck like I did with you at the helm. You are a great Captain and truly know what you are doing. It is very much appreciated and I am sure you are going to be seeing more of me in the future." Thanks Anna!

The Month of June



Thought that would get your attention

The month of June has seen some damn good fishing on our side of the sound.  The bass were a bit late coming out of the river this season due to the lack of hot days in May...But as you will probably remember, the beginning of June brought some real cookers that were more than enough to heat the waters of our home turf....or water rather.  

So out lumbered the cow bass to a few pastures only Captain Pete knows about.  These spots are kept this way with a number of juke moves and cloak and dagger techniques.  "I would rather drive a rusty hook through my thumb than let even one of these googan boats catch one of my fish" has been a mantra of Captain Pete since day uno.  

So here are a few pictures from June:
  
I promised Jim Day that there would be a picture of him up on the internet for a good reason.  Here we are with a nice bass from a solid trip.

See, you only need one foot to catch with us!

2 keepers, 1 short on 1 rig.  We call it productive fishing, most call it a sore arm.

Captain Pete goes under to change the wheels.  Took him 30 minutes to get into that thing.

Peter Caras's crew shows off an impressive catch.

Jim has worked a long time for one of these.  38 lbs 44 inches, caught on one of Captain Pete's custom buck-tails (rumor has it he uses his own neon yellow hair!).

Rusty Sweeny's crew a few days ago.  Not a bad trip eh?  We spoiled a few new guys.  I think they will be back.
