Pisces Fish Report

August 21st to 27th, 2010

Overall Catch Success Rate 100%

BILLFISH: Even though we had a tropical storm below us, we only had some clouds, hot weather and everybody catching fish. One of the best days for billfish was on the 21st for Tommy and Lynnete Naler from Northglenn, Colorado, releasing one striped marlin and one sailfish just outside the Golden Gate area on the Pacific; they also caught a 100 lb yellow fin tuna and a 30 lbs dorado aboard “Andrea”. This same day Angelo Neos from White Stone, NY released two striped marlin also at the Golden Gate one on a live bait and the other on a blue/pink lure aboard “La Brisa”. The only blue marlin released this week was on the 27th estimated at 200 lbs and hooked seven miles off of the Old Lighthouse, aboard “Valerie” for Ben and Kiss Hill from Tyler, Texas. The billfish catches were slower this week, perhaps due to the full moon we had mid-week, meaning that the fish had an opportunity to feed all night and not be as hungry during the daytime. Forty two percent of our charters caught billfish, giving small game to be the star this week. Pisces anglers caught 8 striped marlin, 1 blue marlin and two sailfish this week……catches could have been higher, as the fish are there, but being August there are not many anglers in town, hence less boats going out.

OTHER SPECIES: Dorado catches were number one for us this week with fifty four percent of our boats catching between one to twenty four fish. On the 24th the boats found a ton of Dorado at 10 miles out from Golden Gate. Father and son, Christopher and Louis Tudico from Erie, PA released eighteen dorado and kept six between 20 to 45 lbs; all caught with caballito live bait aboard “Andrea”. This same day, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, Kevin and Wendy Otten from Albuquerque, New Mexico boated twelve dorado between 20 to 45 lbs at the same spot. On the 25th Sean Heyes and family from Durban, South Africa went out on “Bill Collector” and caught eight dorado, releasing five small ones and keeping three between 30 to 40 lbs for dinner. Dean Heyes also caught a pilot shark and a 25 lb jack crevalle. Heather and Matthew Adamson from Midlothian, Texas did a good aboard “Ruthless” boating four dorados between 20 to 35 lbs and 35 lbs wahoo caught with green/yellow and tigrillo lures on the 26th.

Tuna catches increased with twenty nine percent of our boats catching between one and nine fish. Sizes ranged from football size tuna 15 to 25 lbs all the way up to 100 pounders like the one mentioned above”. On the 23rd, Mike Lichtenberger and friends from Connecticut had some action catching nine yellow fin tunas aboard “El Gallo” with Captain Nayo Winkler at the Iman on the Cortez side; all took sardines. The next day, Kevin Hart and Megan Sorokas caught six yellow fin tuna on cedar plugs at Punta Gorda; they also released a striped marlin aboard “Bill Collector”. Sean Heyes fished one more day, this time on “Bill Collector” and boated six tunas between 35 to 40 lbs on sardines, plus one wahoo and a roosterfish at Destiladeras. On the 27th Matt Bailey from Rodford, Michigan shared the “Andrea” with Brian and Militia Earl from Salt Lake City, Utah catching good sized tuna, 60 and 80 lbs on yellow/green lures at the Herradura spot.

The other fish caught were three sharks- one hammerhead, a pilot shark and a mako.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: A mix of sunny hot days with some cloudy and humidity due to the tropical storm. Rough seas a couple of days but everything is back to normal

LOCATION: Sea of Cortez: 95 spot, Herradura, Punta Gorda, Destiladeras, Iman. Pacific Side: Golden Gate, Finger Bank, Faro Viejo, Jaime Banks, Margaritas, Elias Calles

AVERAGE WATER TEMP. 84 F

BEST LURES; Tigrillo, feathers, purple, squid colors, cedar plugs, blue/pink, red/black, blue/white, green/red, green/yellow, ballyhoo, guacamaya (orange/green/yellow). For live bait was caballito and sardine

Based on the catches of Ale Almada in Tracy’s absence.

FIREHOLE DIPS DOWN
Frost On The Pumpkin
there go the tomatoes

-------
.. The Official temperature dip for last night on the Firehole River was 59° F. The rain and clouds have brought us a fine September eve.
.. Air temperatures will warm toward the weekend and the water temperatures will follow. We're keeping an eye on the river and the fish activity. It won't be long before the feather merchants begin to push the match-hatchers in their fly bins. Soft hackles are always a good bet.
.. The Lamar River is too thin to plow, but just barely. It'll be 2-4 days before it clears. Pebble Creek is clearing quickly, however rain is in the forecast until the weekend.

Another one on the zonk.....


This is Paul with yet another cracking Waterford bass taken on the lure of the moment the zonk gataride. This fish came in around the 9lb mark. The bass at the minute seem to be in great condition gorging themselves on the abundant baitfish around the coast which seem to be everywhere at the moment.
We have had some outstanding fishing in the last week, however the next big tides will hopefully see the fishing step up that extra notch which will result in some great fishing if the weather holds.

New Author

Above is a picture of James Barry taken the other night ( when he beat me 3-2 ) not that we would be competing or anything like that ! It was a great nights fishing with 5 bass in total and loads of mackerel , James was even taking the mackerel on a Z-Claw .
James is also going to be writing on this blog and will be in the shop from time to time (when I am fishing) so do not be afraid to drop in and pick his brain about lure fishing or bait as he will blow your mind with the info and knowledge the guy has. He is slightly obsessed about bass fishing , so watch his eyes light up when you mention it to him.
Be prepared for correct spelling , correct use of the English language , and some great posts on here from James. From now on when either of us post we will finish with our name so all of you will know who has written the post ( I think ye will tell anyway) . James is going to be a great asset to this blog with a wealth of knowledge and experiences to share.

Hook and Hunt TV features Herman Brothers!

I filmed a show with hookandhunttv.com last month. It is now live online. The show's host Jim Crowley is a regular on Midwest Outdoors fishing and hunting show that airs on local channels across the midwestern states and nationally on the sportsmens channel. This is the first of 3 segments featuring the process of building, stocking, and catching fish on this 1/2 acre backyard pond.




We will be stocking fathead minnows this fall. Then we will be stocking feed trained smallmouth and feed trained hybrid striped bass along with bluegill in the spring. We will install a waterfowl aeration system over by the goose pit and a smallmouth bass aeration system out in the deep hole. We will grow more 4 lb hybrid striped bass and 3 lb smallmouth bass and 1 lb bluegill in this 1/2 acre pond than most people will catch in their lifetime of fishing in Illinois!

I am no good at tv shows or interviews yet and I look like a giant compared to Jim, but overall it was alot of fun and a good learning experience. Some day hopefully soon I will fulfill a lifelong dream of actually being on a real outdoor show on a national tv station.

Kearns Family Thank You Letter

Just a quick email to thank Pisces very much for 3 excellent days fishing especially the last marlin day. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cabo. I have attached a few of our pictures for you and we look forward to seeing you all in two years!!

Thanks again

Fishing news: Aug 27

Despite rough seas due to tropical weather down below us, it did not stop the boats going out and catching fish!

Christian Sandoval from Encinitas California caught this beautiful wahoo which weighted 75 lbs and was 64 inches long aboard “Cabolero”



This same day, Matt Bailey from Redford, MI and Brian & Militia Earl from Salt Lake City, UT shared the 28ft “Andrea” and caught a 60 and 80 lbs yellow fin tuna at the Herradura on the Cortez side.


The Dark Side....


Caught some of the darkest pollock I've seen to date today at a spot I found in the winter and haven't properly fished since. During the session my TM 125 SLD Lure was hit hard by a fish that leapt two feet clear of the water before shedding the lure, maybe a Sea trout? I've yet to catch one on this coast but I'm sure they must be there. I have come to the conclusion that if there's a lot of small pollock around and on the feed, the Bass probably aren't there. Anybody got any thoughts on this?

Southern Drawl Kayak Fishing photos

Here are some photos from various trips this summer.

Enjoy!















Just Swell.......


The swell forecast for the next week is looking good, just what we need to inject some life into the fishing me thinks.............

Action is good and September should be a great month to paddle and fish


I was talking with one of my clients the other day and he said he liked my Southern Drawl Kayak Fishing motto: We take you fishing and not for a boat ride."
I have to admit, I think that's a great motto.
I have another of which I'm quite fond: "The worst day you're going to have with us will be pretty darn good."
That has been proven time and again over my years of guiding. We do want to catch fish, and we seem to always do that. And most of the trips are pretty darn good.
I took John Mallia of New York (in the photos) out on two trips this past week. We had a couple of wonderful days. On the first outing, we fished Sarasota Bay and caught a mixed bag of fish: spotted seatrout, bluefish and ladyfish. We also encountered (but didn't catch) Spanish mackerel, shark and tarpon. Action was steady throughout the day and dry spells were infrequent.
We caught a bunch of fish, but the highlight of the outing was when we were paddling back to the launch. We found a bunch of manatees that wanted to hang out with us. They'd swim up to our kayaks, put their noses against the plastic or swim under our boats.
They were literally close enough that we could have reached out an petted them if we had wanted.
It was John's first up-close encounter with a manatee.
Manatees aside, fishing has been very good. We've been getting trout to 24 inches, bluefish to 3 pounds, Spanish mackerel to 3, redfish to 33 inches, tarpon to 30 pounds and all the ladyfish you'd ever want.
Most of the action has been on D.O.A. CAL Jigs with gold paddle tails. The reds have been taking Bomber Bondonkadonk surface plugs, D.O.A. Baitbusters and the D.O.A. BFL.
We're expecting tarpon action to heat up in Sarasota Bay and Charlotte Harbor in September. We use D.O.A. Baitbusters, D.O.A. TerrorEyz and flies.
We anticipate excellent action has the days start to grow shorter and the water begins to cool. Slams (snook, trout and redfish) will be possible.
September is wide open, so you can pick your days.
Give me a call at (941) 284-3406 to book your trip.
You won't regret it.
I'd like to thank my sponsors for making all of this possible: Native Watercraft, D.O.A. Lures, Temple Fork Outfitters and Dri-Grip Sunscreen.
I appreciate their support and belief in me. And what makes it all especially wonderful is that they're great products.

When the season's over, tarpon action heats up in Charlotte Harbor

I'm not much into cliches or fads. That's why I call a tarpon and tarpon. And not a, um, well, you get the picture.
Anyway, tarpon season is over.
Right?
As ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso is fond of saying, not so fast my friend.
Years ago, St. Petersburg guide Paul Hawkins told me that his favorite time of year to fish for tarpon was August and September in Charlotte Harbor. That's well after the traditional "season" has ended. By August, most tarpon hunters have long since stored their heavy gear in the closet.
Hawkins was right. Charlotte Harbor has a great population of tarpon and the action heats up in late summer.
I recently launched my kayak at Ponce de Leon Park in Punta Gorda. My goal was tarpon. I only had to paddle a few strokes before I was casting at tarpon. I found them rolling in the channel comping out of Alligator Creek. I jumped an fish I estimated at 80 pounds on my fourth or fifth cast, but my 40-pound leader was no much.
That action quickly subsided and I paddled to another spot. I found tarpon rolling on the surface over a large area. I jumped six more tarpon and landed one, a beautiful 30-pounder (in the photo). The fish was taken on a gold, D.O.A. TerrorEyz.
I returned to the area a few days later, but was met by wind and choppy water. We found a few tarpon, but they were tough to see in the chop. Dave Robinson of Sarasota was fishing with me and jumped two fish and had another go for his TerrorEyz at the side of the kayak.
A fast-approaching storm ended our day.
I took John Mallia of New York there recently and we found better conditions, but few tarpon. We did managed 45 spotted seatrout and a bunch of ladyfish, but only saw a couple of tarpon. They weren't visible in the harbor. We did paddle over to a nearby canal and also found it void of tarpon. I asked a woman who lives on the canal if she'd seen any tarpon and she said she hadn't in the last two weeks.
I remember a late-summer trip a few years ago. I fished with guide Brandon Naeve of Nokomis. We made the trip from Placida across a very rough harbor to fish some canals at Pirate Harbor. We got a shot at a few fish, but they weren't cooperative.
When we emerged from Pirate Harbor, we were met by a glassy-calm Charlotte Harbor.
"These conditions are perfect for tarpon," I said.
We hadn't gone more than 400 years when we spotted a large school of tarpon on the surface. Over the next two hours, we jumped nine fish on fly. Trouble was that the tarpon all were well more than 100 pounds, and our heaviest fly rod was an 8-weight.
Oh, well, it's fun jumping tarpon.
If we get some calm weather, I look for tarpon action to be good in the harbor.
It's that time of year.

Ronnie and Dan


Today I took Ronnie and Dan fishing... The water was really low so we headed decided to set off wet wading. It was even better than yesterday...We got into fish all day. It was another beautiful day with low humidity. Ronnie was into some major action...First he caught a 17 1/2 inch rainbow, then a brown about the same size...Then we found a big 23 inch brown surfacing and hooked and lost him...Dan had never fished with a 3 WT, so I introduced him to the joys of light rods...All in all it was a great day on the river!!

Farns and Bill


Yesterday I had my good client Robert Farnsworth and a client of his named Bill. Bill fishes the Norfork frequently, but had fished the little Red very little. We set off chucking streamers looking for some big browns. The extremely low water and sunshine didn't really help us out, so after and hour or so we decided to pick up the nymph rods and go pick on some rainbows. We headed to one of my favorite shoals to do some wading.We got out and kicked some ass. It was a lot of fun wet wading in the freakishly warm river water...with freakishly cool air. The fish where active and we had a blast! I didn't get any cool fish pics but I did get this neat shot of both guys with fish on!

ALASKA



So if you've been wondering why I haven't been posting lately,it's because I've been in Alaska. My dad and I went to Rapids Camp Lodge in King Salmon...Talk about an awesome experience. We did some bad ass hiking, some sweet floating, some silver salmon fishing, and few other things. We learned to cast Spey Rods and ate awesome cuisine....The place is the cat's meow thats for sure! Dad and I both caught tons of Rainbow's and massive artic char...We went after silver's one day just so we could take some meat home. It was such a blast...Here is a link to a slideshow with some very cool photos....

Loftness Timber Ax for Tree Clearing

Herman Brothers Pond Management is evolving into HB Lake and Land Management. This year we have planted lots of food plots, hung lots of deer stands, and now we are going to be clearing trash trees! We have partnered up with huntplots.com and Ryan Pudik to offer a full gamit of land management services to our clients.

This fall and winter we will be clearing willow trees, russian olives, and locusts with the loftness timber ax attachment for the skid steer. This tool cuts down and completely mulches those trash tress in less than one minute! Here is a sample video we made today while creating some trails on a 40 acre property for a client.



The timber ax cuts perfect ATV and Horse trails through the timber and our many other attachments can quickly accomplish any timber clearing job imaginable! Clearing food plots is a breeze! Shoot me an email or give me a call if you have any trails to make or trash trees to remove!!

Z Fish Report (8/26/10)

The 80° blue water has moved in a bit and holding steady at around 14 miles. The fishing, even with the full moon phase is not all that bad. The boats are each averaging between 1 or 2 fish a day, with the fish being either sailfish or striped marlin. Plus, they are getting and average of 1 to 3 dorado each a day. Between the three species, it is making for a decent day on the water.


Even though Hurricane Frank transitioned from a tropical storm to hurricane status right out in front of this coast, it was nowhere near us. We didn’t even get any rain out of it. We have been getting more rain in the last weeks from the thunderstorms. Without any more heavy rains, which is unlikely as we head into September, it will take two weeks for the roosterfish action to come back around. September is the month with the most measured rainfall of all the rain months.
           The inshore water is almost completely silted out, with poor visibility and poor fishing along the beaches all up and down the coast. This is very evident by looking at the chlorophyll section of the Terrefin Satellite photos. Wherever a river or stream outlets into the ocean, a mass of green water is also being pushed out in front of them. The larger the river, the larger the green mass.

Fly fisher Steve Baldikoski from Los Angeles fished a day with Cheva and me on the panga Dos Hermanos II. We found some barely OK visibility water up near Troncones and Buena Vista, but that even shut down around noon. Steve only managed to hook a 20 pound class jack crevalle, which broke the 17 pound test leader, and a couple small black skipjack tuna.

Super Super Spook in the moonrise



Had a session last night, glorious evening totally still, so still I could hear the lure sloshing through the water as I walked it back toward me. The mark I fished is truly treacherous under foot so much so I had to think twice about fishing it myself. Jamie still has my wading stick so I never moved around much which probably resulted in me only catching one Bass of about 2 pounds. The highlight of the night were the crazy crazy Pollack, stopped counting after fifteen, nothing big with them all being under 2 pounds but man oh man ! Having fished here before I expect a few along with the Bass but I don’t think the latter got a look in last night. What I did get was lots of practice on twitch and move with the Super Spook in chartreuse, truth is the less you moved it the better. The nearest thing I have seen to their antics was a sea lion playing with a ball as they bounced the lure a foot into the air when the didn’t get hooked (which was also lots and lots of times) I found myself standing laughing out loud alone, needed something to make me laugh as its total leg & ankle straight into an air ambulance sort of place. Pictures were a hassle and they one’s I have are pretty crap, no time to take decent pictures for the faaashen

Tiger Muskie from 5 acre lake

This tiger muskie we stocked in 2007 as a 12 inch yearling into a 5 acre strip mine lake. It was caught on a terminator spinner bait last week by James Fiddes. The fish measured 39 inches!


The lake was full of 12 inch largemouth bass back in '07, but I am guessing those little largemouths don't have too many buddies hanging around these days!

Trolling at it's best

After much bad weather and a vacation to Sydney, Australia, I'm back.
The weather has shaped up well for the week and we decided to try to fill the freezer with eating fish. That means trolling, and I really do not like trolling, but it can be the best way to catch wahoo and mahimahi.
So, off we go into the wild blue sea, trolling. I think I will let the video speak for me.

Pisces Fish Report


August 12th to 20th, 2010



Overall Catch Success Rate 88.4%


BILLFISH: The Pacific side has been the top fishing location as the last couple days our boats have returned with nice catches from that area. One of the best days was on the 19th for the charming Kearns family, from Shropshire, England who fished several days aboard “Rebecca” The 19th was their last day of fishing with us and they were thrilled to release a total of five striped marlin at Gaspareño; they also released a 250 lb blue marlin and a striped marlin on the 14th. “Andrea” had two triple marlin days, one on the 18th for father and son, Randy and Randy Stricklind Jr from Hitchcock, TX at the 180 spot and the other anglers were Paul Robinson, Karmina Mijica and Adam Weber from Los Angeles, CA who had an active day on the 20th releasing three striped marlin at the Golden Gate and boating five dorado and five football size yellow fin tunas. This same day “Rebecca” released three striped marlin between 130 to 200 lbs and kept three yellow fin tuna and three good size dorado in the 35 to 40 lbs class, just above of the Golden Gate area for Robert Lindquist and Lindsay Dralle from Washington, DC – a perfect catch marlin and then lots of great table fish. “C- Rod” was the top boat with most blue marlin catches and they are obviously on a roll, with five out of the eight caught this week attributed to this boat. The biggest blue they caught was released on the 15th and estimated at 700-800 lbs, hooked 18 miles out from La Playita, for Mike Slover and wife Ginger from Austin, Tx who were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary. After a five hour fight, the blue marlin won and jumped a final time, snapping the line and took off. One day before this David Amesbury and friends from Las Vegas, NV also had a great day releasing three blue marlin caught with a cigarillo lure (yellow underside, orange with black striped on top) at the 11:50 Spot and also caught one dorado. The billfish catches are consistent, as they are similar from the past fish report with seventy percent of our charters catching billfish giving us a total of 35 striped marlin, 8 blue marlin and 1 sailfish.

OTHER SPECIES: Dorado catches were in second place after marlin this week with fifty three percent of boats catching between one and six fish, with some as large as 55 lbs, like the one caught on “Valerie” on a squid color lure and also 50 lbs caught with live bait for Jennifer George and Charles Ramsey from Birmingham, Alabama on the 12th. Most of them were around 35 lbs average and took tigrillo and guacamayo lures; the boats that caught more than two fish were on the pacific side at Gaspareño, Golden Gate, Migriño and even the Finger Banks. Tuna catches were a little slow this week, but we had good size hook ups, like on the 13th for the Amesbury group mentioned above aboard “C-Rod” who boated a 130 lbs yellow fin twenty seven miles out of Cerro Blanco on cedar plugs. The next day “Valerie” caught a 100 lb tuna also on a cedar plug at the 11:50 Spot for Shane Sauman and Terry Cashion from Knoxville, TN and friend Dan Moore from Florida. Only twelve percent of our boats catch yellow fin tuna. Some 40 lbs wahoo here and there like the one caught on 20th on “Yahoo” for Michael and Michelle Fennegan from Texas who also caught four dorado at Elias Calles; all took guacamayo and green and black lures. Ginger Slover was the only angler who caught a different fish, with a 128 lbs pilot shark on the 15th.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: A mix of sunny hot days with some cloudy and humidity. More calm seas at the Pacific meaning boats can finally fish there again, but many are not bothering to go at Sea of Cortez as is still good fishing between the 95 and 11:50 Spot. Seas calm on the Sea of Cortez but with a big swell early in the report with a little rain one day

LOCATION: Sea of Cortez: 95 spot, 11.50 spot, Cerro Blanco. Pacific Side: Gaspareño, Finger Bank, Moros Prietos, Golden Gate, Migriño

AVERAGE WATER TEMP. :84 F

BEST LURES; Tigrillo, feathers, squid colors, cedar plugs, petrolero, red/black, blue/white, green/black, green/yellow, guacamaya (orange/green/yellow). For live bait was caballito and mullet.

Based on the catches of Ale Almada in Tracy’s absence.
