2012 Recap with Capt. Jason Stacy

A short "Grip and Grin" recap of the 2012 season. Overall the weather sucked throughout Tarpon season.. We fought through it.

I want to thank all of you for a great year!  I look forward to fishing with you in 2013!

See you next year Louisiana..

Fall 2012 is in the books. After a great season in the marsh, I am back in on the Emerald Coast gearing up for the Holidays.  Our last group went out with a Bang.   Don and Austin Watson joined me for the last 3 days. The weather was less than favorable with lots of rain and wind. This father and son duo stuck it out.  We were still able to sight fish and catch a pile of big fish on fly.  
When the smoke cleared we had caught several fish over 30lbs., breaking only one 10wt. in the process.  Don got big fish honors with a 38lb. beast. Austin caught a tagged fish for a added bonus. 

  

 

Look Out! Jay Decker's on Board!

My buddy Jay Decker with Patagonia came over to fish with me in Louisiana. We have talked about the marsh for several years and he finally got on the books.  We had an awesome time catching up and sight fishing Redfish.  They have escaped Jay and he was ready to check 'em off his species list.  He did it in a big way.  His first redfish was just over 30lbs.!  After several more, he finished the day with a 47inch, 37lb. beast.  Congrats Jay! Your ruined...

Something Around Every Corner

I am coming out of my cave to write an update today. I've spent the better part of the last 5 days sick with the Flu..  Not a great thing to have on Thanksgiving.  I may be the only person I know that lost weight this holiday. On a good note fishing continues to be strong. Fish with some great guys from NC. for the last 4 days. We had a good time picking on lots of big fish.

You never know what you will see out in the marsh. This Giant Water Buffalo swimming in open water was no exception.

November is off to a great start!

As I write this, it is blowing 35 outside and pouring down rain.  We cancelled the last couple of days fishing due to extreme weather conditions.  I'll be back on the water Wednesday. Looks like fair weather toward the end of the week. I've enjoyed meeting and fishing a few new clients this month as well as some old friends. When conditions are right we have experienced some exceptional "Big Fish" days. 

Lenny and Steven enjoyed a couple days of great weather days and exceptional fishing.  Lots of big fish shots and several doubles. 

My good friend Raz Reid (Southeastern Rep. for Sage, Tibor, Rio Umpqua and Fish Pond) and his friend Pat  joined me for 3 days last week.  We had lots of big fish around and he caught some gorgeous fish.  Raz brought along the new Sage Peacock rod from the BASS II series. This is a cool stick and worked perfectly for this style of fishing. Quick shots with big flys..

Joe and Andrew came down from Atlanta to enjoy 2 days of great weather and angling opportunities.
