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.

Sunday night I will have the grill fired… 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
