Saltwater Fishing Reports, Freshwater Fishing Reports

July 1, 2010
Today we started out July fishing with Dana from Orlando Florida, Shelly from Colorado, Jonathan his daughter Meghan and his girl friend Randi all from Texas.
We went right to trolling the reef with our planner boards running at 45 feet deep and 3 surface baits skipping across the surface.
Once again the planner boards paid off in a big way catching one fish after another. Every one catching fish even little 5 year old Meghan.
Dana thanks again for putting this hole fishing trip together. We had a ball and by the looks on everyone’s faces they all seemed to have a great time.

Today we had Rose and her husband Ted and their kids Ted and Nate all from San Francisco Ca.
Once again trolling the reef with a couple of planner boards running deep a few surface baits skipping across the water.
While trolling we caught some bonitos a couple barracudas and a black fin tuna.
Than we brought in the trolling equipment and set out a couple live baits and slowly trolled them over a big ledge that goes from 12 feet down to 36 feet.
Within minutes of setting out the live baits the water exploded and BAM line was screaming off the reel and we were Hooked Up. After a good 15 min of this back and forth tug a war we got this monster jack carvel to the boat. Well if it worked once we figured what the heck let’s try it again and soon thereafter

The month of July has seen some good bass fishing. Despite the heat, the bass are still willing to play well take the baits we offer them. Main baits of choice have varied depending on the waters we have been hitting, but two baits have been consistent on all the waters, those being a white spinner bait and the Strike King Redeye Shad.
East Lake Toho has still being holding steady with action in the early morning hours getting very limited top water action, but the redeye shad and white spinner bait have been picking off the bass steadily. When the day heats up, the big ticket has been senko type baits and flukes, worked in and around topped out grasses scattered around the main lake. The 6 to 10 foot range has been the areas that have seemed to hold more bass, and the better quality bass out here.
West Lake Toho has been fishing a lot like East Lake Toho. One big out here though is locating moving water after the rains. These areas will not only hold some good sized bass, but will also hold some good numbers as well. Northern end of the lake seems to be one of the better areas for producing bass as well as a few areas of offshore grasses.
Lake X, as I like to refer to it, is a part of the Kissimmee chain and has been a great place to fish. Bass in the early morning hours have been pretty active on senko type baits and flukes, with a few being caught on the redeye shad. Speed craws and trick worms have also been catching a good amount of bass out here as

Man them darn flounders fun, Yea! eat good too, hun; Can\'t complain about the o\'l flat fish, they got it all going on!!!!
Early week they were on, had that early morning high tide and the flounders were moving up close to shore and on the flats to feed on the falling tide. And the WHIPASNAPA was jaw jacking um, 32 or so in 2 days, with a few nice trout, did the Bay Slam one day, Reds, flounders, and trout. All on the pogey which is very plentiful right now. They opened up the live baiting for shrimp also, but if got them pogeys they as good as any. Saturday\'s, N. La crew got on the black drum 20 or so good eating size, like the shrimp for them, and a couple reds, but where undersized they seem to prefer the shrimp also. A few nice trout, specks, and whites, and one flat fish. Pretty darn good bite all week. Thanks to all!
Bay should continue to be hot, as the weather! Islands opening up for some catch and release. Hear the reds are pretty thick out there still waiting. Maybe they will give us a lil federal water to go get some fall cobia, groupers, kings,etc....?!
Come on load up for your WhipaSnapa Good Time: Just a lil reminder that summer almost over for the kids and we still catching some pretty darn good fish in the Bay, and should just keep getting better, Red and black drum, flounder, trout, etc.... Catch and release at Islands. Say some test should be back next couple days and may open up a lil bit of federal

Milwaukee Fishing Salmon Reports July 26th 2010
By Capt. Jim Hirt
Steady and productive is the best way to describe the Lake Michigan Milwaukee salmon fishing. Chinooks of all sizes with four year old Chinook averaging 15 pounds. Rainbows and Lake Trout are plentiful when fishing with all presentation. Shore anglers are having a rough go of it with cloudy water from recent rain run off. Some recent east wind has not changed the location or depth of fish. Very good action in working 40 to 80 feet of water in White Fish Bay three to seven miles north of Milwaukee’s north gap. Let me tell you where and what to use. To see my how to video fish report go to http://www.jimhirt.com
With 59 degree surface temperature 2,3,4,5,6 and 8 color lead core are working. Travel northeast out of the North Gap about 3 miles at a 50 degrees compass for the cold water that holds the fish. Look for fish from 10 to 60 down on all presentations. Slide Divers with 70 feet of line out are a steady producer with magnum Reaper Peacock or Fish n Chip spoons. Glow spoons have also been working all day long in the magnum size like the Reaper Fish Fry. Downriggers from 40 to 65 down on long lead spoons are my go to rig with magnum silver or glow spoons. Customers are enjoying great action on Chinook salmon to 20 pounds. A combination of Salmon and Trout in all sizes are active. The boat speed of 2.1 gave the best results. Vulcans, Nestor Wobblers and Reapers

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT

July 19-25, 2010

Weather: This week started just the same as last week with highs in the low to mid 90\'s and the nighttime lows in the low 80\'s. My how things can change! On Saturday the clouds moved in and we had lightning and thunder combined with some rain, not a lot, but enough to form some run-off on the streets, wash the dust off the plants and make us feel that the air had been cleaned! The temperature dropped several degrees and everyone was comfortable once again.

Water: The ocean temperatures have been in constant flux this week, the currents are pushing one way, then pulling the other so that there has been no real consistency in the location of cool and warm water. At the end of the week the water offshore in the Sea of Cortez averaged 80 degrees, close to home in the Cabo San Lucas Bay we were reading 77 degrees while on the beach on the Pacific side it was mostly 66-69 degrees. Water conditions as far as the surface went were great with swells averaging 3-5 feet and widely spaced on the Pacific, 1-3 feet on the Sea of Cortez and widely spaced. There was little wind chop on either side of the Cape in the mornings but occasionally things kicked up in the afternoons, not enough to be a problem, but just enough to form a decent chop on the surface.

Fishing has been great all month long lots of trout and reds on the flats and in the rivers. There have been a lot of smaller fish in the shallow waters and the bigger fish have been hanging out in water ranging for 7ft to 10ft mostly good steep banks. Most of the fish have been caught with live shrimp under a popping cork and also some have also been hitting gulp jerk baits and gulp greenies. It has been a great summer so far and the fall is sure to be a good one.

Lake Baccarac ended the season with a bang, and not to repeat the story, but please feel free to check out the fishing report on our website. We certainly did not have the number of friends at the lodge last season as we have had in the past, but we had enough to remind us of one thing: Lake Baccarac produces more trophies than any other lake in Mexico. We cannot locate a pattern for when and why they show up, and they are not there every week, but in reading through the reports, some of our friends’ catches will amaze you.

March was definitely the standout month for the spring, with Jimmy Manley catching a 13.9, which is one of many great catches and trophies landed in March. Even Russ Johnson reported a 14.2 at the end of April. Gil Wright once again was a regular and thought May fishing was the best he had ever seen. This past season, the lake will be remembered for the incredible number of mid-sized bass caught, and at times, outstanding action from morning until dark. With the numbers of fish and the numbers of quality fish caught recently, everything points towards fantastic fishing again this coming season.

We are looking to have the lodge open by October 1st. As many of you recognize, Lake Baccarac Lodge has outstanding attention paid to it by Narlin Salazar, and we have plans of having the lodge wi-fi equipped this coming season. The new runway at Bacubirito has served us well for those flying privately. The new bass fishing season

With Tropical Storm Bonnie skirting Central Florida we were able to get on the
water and enjoy a not so hot day with a nice NE breeze.My clients from
West Virginia had a blast catching 14 largemouth weighing up to 8 pounds
and 8 or 10 small Sunshine Bass weighing around 2 pounds each.
The action was steady for most of this 6 HR trip on the St Johns River and all fish
were caught on artificial baits.A 9 inch Junebug worm and a Rattle Trap did
the most damage today.This just proves that the big fish are here to catch
during the summer months we just need the clients to come and catch them.

We offer a complete service for both Freshwater and Saltwater Guided Trips all with
in 1 hour of Orlando,Disney World and Daytona Beach

Took a lil minication this week an of course missed a trip or 2, kid\'s had an invite to tour Ms State University. Did that an spent day or so with mom in Grenada, an swung through ol pops in Neshoba Co.
Went boating on lil\' WHIPA today and set out the crab pots, been tasting some good ol\'boiled crabs. Decided while I was out to take a couple of fish weapons with me and the brill net. After putting out crab pots, went over and found one factory working and with one throw the net started swimming off with the pogey\'s (oh yea). So off to do lil fishing, wanted to fish some new spots, went to old reef by mouth of Fort Bayou.
As I approached the reef I could smell fish and could see several boils on top. Throwed the anchor and it was on, as soon as the pogey hit the water BAM! For about 2 hours I sat there and reeled in fish as fast as humanly possible; specks, white trout, and some drag ripping gafftops. Most of the specks were 12 1/2 to 13 1/2 in. Just kept a few and left them biting.
On way back, decided to stop try one more lil spot. Old discharge pier close to ramp and soon as my free lined pogey got up next to the pier BAM! Red fish, caught three, one was tagged and was the only one to make the 18in cut the other two were just a lil under size, but a blast on the light spin weapon.
Boy, tell ya they keep this oil shut down might open up lil bit more water. But if not man the Bay is alive and well! We did reel
