Repeat customers, Craig and Pat, brought their son and daughter-in-law, along to experience some great fishing in the 10,000 Islands. Practicing catch and release with Captain Jim Schmidt, they boated some Trout, Sheepshead and were broken off by a couple of Goliath Grouper. Great trip for all!

Our distinguished honor.

Gary Eichler and Captain Mike Cochran had the distinguished honor of entertaining four wounded veterns from the war in Iraq. Even though these men suffer some pretty severe disabilities, their positive attitudes and humor should be a lesson for all of us. I would like to invite all of our Facebook fans to visit their website @ woundedvets.org and donate to this great cause.

Not One, Not Two BUT Three Bull Reds!

Ken Saul and his family joined Captain Jimmy for a four and one-half hour trip offshore. Expectations were iffy as a strong cold front had just passed through the area. Somebody forgot to tell three enormous Bull Reds along with a few new trout that, that was the case. Talk about a memorable moment. Ken and his family will be showing these pictures off for awhile.

Our loyal customer, Jorge, treated his family to another great fishing experience with Captain Jim Schmidt. These folks absolutely love fishing within the Ten Thousand Islands; and were rewarded with a nice catch of Redfish and Snapper.

Welcome Back Ernie!

Our old pal from New Jersey decided to leave the family home this time and bring three of his buddies from Marco Island out for four and one half hours of fishing within the Ten Thousand Islands. Captain Jim Schmidt put them on fish after fish; and the guys left to enjoy a fish fry that evening. Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead and Snapper were part of the catch.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!
