Whats Happening in September
Labor day is this weekend and I’m looking forward to spending time with good friends and family at the Pointe.

What I am hearing is that the snook bite is on and redfish are making a strong showing. I guess I’ll find out this weekend.
Sunday night I will have the grill fired… Continue reading
Great Labor Day
What a great labor day weekend we had at the Pointe.

From the river to the Gulf to far south of the Skyway… Continue reading

I am heading to Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas today and… Continue reading

Nice trout on the grass in the 3′-5′ depth and some nice reds are starting to show up on the flats. This past week while fishing w/ one of our best guests, Billy Sexton, we landed several blacktip sharks just off the mouth of the river, using… Continue reading
