Hilton Head Islands Best Redfishing Secret ! Capt ByronSewell in Palmetto Dunes resort!
Listen to my great friend Cindy Rodriguez! She sounds like a little girl at her tenth birthday party getting a new puppy! The energy is so contagious, some people never grow up. Lets hope none of us ever have to. The palmetto lagoon system is unreal! 11 miles of saltwater lagoon winding through a hardwood forest. A magical concoction of Saltwater and forest birds mixed with forest critters and river dwellers. If you added all the time Captain Trent and I have spent exploring the waterways it would probably add up to a few years. No kidding, we have been fishing it since we were puppy drum. Capt Trent owns Palmetto Lagoon charters and is one of my best friend’s and fishing guru. Eventhough I out fish him all the time. Hahaha Don’t tell him I said that! We have so many stories between us…
Hilton Head Island’s annual explosive Shark and Biomass migration Is just around the corner!
Every year about this time we get the call. My Central Florida ocean brothers letting me know the bite has begun! Starting in June, a massive concentration of sea life or “BIO MASS” marches north following the 70 degree tempature line as our waters warm with the summer months. This Migration has been going on for millions of years… Yes, millions. The variety of Sea life is mind blowing. It’s like the ultimate live seafood gumbo. For Native Son guides its like an annual prize fight. The Preparation, planning, and visualizing during the winter months is sure to pay off. Our favorite adversaries showing up to challenge our fly casting and light tackle skills. Tasty Tripletail, cruising Cobia, aerobatic King Mackeral, ferocious Blacktip Sharks, and so many other sea creatures spice up our local waters. This is truly a Native’s favorite time to search for…
Massive Red Drum caught Fishing Hilton Head waters! Girl Power does it again!
Exploring is everything to me. I love asking my clients “hey you guys wanna just go explore”? I find the essence of ‘fishing’ and life is looking in new areas and trying new techniques. Sometimes you hit the ball out of the park and sometimes not so much. This time we hit it out of the park, what a battle, what a surprise. The weather had just gotten nice after weeks of grey windy cold blaaahhhh. We had the music pumping just enjoying the sun, having some laughs catching a few small Sea bass and Weakfish. Out of nowhere the big rod up on the rocket launcher started screaming, I yelled “Fish On”! Which was fitting because I was running my long time fishing partner Captain Trent Malphrus’s New 24 foot Bad to the bone Pathfinder he named Fish On (Palmetto Lagoon Charters)….
Blast from the Past ! Ambergris Cay Turks and Caicos .. A Private Island
http://tc-sportingclub.blogspot.com/2006/08/cuda-catch-on-ambergris-cay.html During my daily morning bike ride through the islands trails, I planned my day. Conditions are crucial; wind, sun and tides create special recipes for diverse activities. Sunrise crept over the horizon, and beams of light shot through the sky. The Columbus pass and near-shore waters looked like glass. I decided to start with early morning top water fishing. My target area was the maze of reef cuts adjacent to Tarpon Point on the northwest tip of Ambergris Cay. I started with a chug plug and spinning rod. My first cast was right on a boiling eddy created by the corner of a spectacular and brightly colored reef. My plug landed; I let it sit for a moment, and then began twitching the lure across the water towards the boat. Chug, chug, SLAM! My lure exploded as if a…
