Guests of Schaefer Crop Insurance fishing with Castaway Lodge in February 2013.

Finding the fish was not a problem for the Castaway Team on the water yesterday with Craig S. and his clients. Herds of fish piled up over mud/grass were schooling and the light to no wind day made them show themselves at every turn reports Capt. Chris C. Getting them to open their mouth was another story. Sluggish feeding and tentative strikes made for lack luster action given the fish concentrations. That’s something we run into on really mild wind days and only tenacity and patience seems to pay off.

Capt. James E. worked up Trout for the guys on his boat throwing topwaters over mud/grass. Action was spotty but it’s nice to see a topwater bite already emerging in quickly warming water temperatures. There are zero live bait supplies in the area but I think this weather is going to get the camps on the move to start working on live shrimp supplies. The Ground Hog knows Spring is here and we can pretty much throw the calendar out the window at this point. Shifting seasonality on Trout means the rods are going to have to come out of the closet earlier.

New Airboat:
The guys at American Airboats hit another one out of the park with the new boat. This 20 x 8 with the L92 Mast 550 HP motor is ready to chew up some real estate and leave the fish no place to hide. Come see us. Again for 2013, we will be offering Summer Airboat Redfishing Trips. This was a huge success during 2012 and we look forwrad to more great fun in the sun this year.
