Spring Break with Capt. Jeff Larson

Spring Break with Capt. Jeff Larson


The Only thing you are going to catch on my Boat is Fish! Great Times and Memories! Oh you will also catch some Sun. Bring Sunscreen! I already De Germed all my equipment so you are safe from any virus on my Boats.

Spring Break! Yaaaa! Party!! We all need a Break! Now Kids are getting 2 weeks off for Spring Break. We definitely need a Break from the News Rhetoric for sure. Make it a Happy Spring Break not a dreary one. Oh we can chat on the Virus Free Boats about all of it if you want to but in the mean time let’s get out there and have some Fun!

The South Winds and In Coming tides have been a welcome sight. The shrimp migration along with all the other crustaceans should be doing their annual thing which brings and breathes life back into our Bays and Estuaries. Let me just throw this 1 out there. Even the Hardheads are coming back. UGH, Hard heads are a pain in the @$$ and I don’t miss them at all. What good are they? Well we did catch a ling on a hard head at the Jetties one time. Yeah surprised me too. I looked it up and they feed on those things. Knowing that Ling eat hard heads makes me want to let em go so they can eat all the hard heads they can. Ok maybe not, we only let em go when they are not keepers.

Anyway, we been hammering the fish! Trout, Reds, Flounder, Drum and Sheepshead.

Ok Sheepshead aren’t as sexy as catching a Trout on top water. They aren’t as pretty as a Trout or Red, unless you are Goth, then a Sheepshead would be sexier. Look, is it me, or is it as I get some miles on my boats that I enjoy going after fish that are feeding and will even hit dead Bait or even chunks of dead Bait.

For example, We are Combat Redfishing or Back Bay Airboat Redfishing (for the less aggressive fishermen), we cruise the marsh roll up on a herd of Reds and Black Drum. We set the Power Pole down on the Air Ranger to lock in the Boat for the Attack. We sling baits of choice, preferably dead and Stinky, toward the sand pockets. The line bombs are in place ready to get jerk’d down. When those mighty Lightning Rods barrel down to the boat gunnel it makes my heart skip a beat and I start looking for the beast out in the shallow marsh in the direction the rod tip is pointing. It’s exciting!

I Love watching people, Young And Old scramble over those bent over Rods. It’s a kick watching the Fishermen get so excited when fish hit the bait. It’s a rush, even the sexy hard core wader gets a kick out of it. It’s a riot watching grown men fight over a bent rod with a fish on the end.

Hey, Middle Coast Community, let’s make the best of this uncertain time remain calm and make some good Spring Break Memories! Also don’t drink and drive. Stay Safe and Thank our Local Law Enforcement Officers for doing a great job. Be Courteous to them and they might just use their discretion and give you a Big Break!
