Wintertime fishing can be good, but you have to act fast. There was a break in the weather the second week of January and guys were getting offshore. Feeding Frenzy in the SW was posting quality grouper and snapper reports, Lori Jo was amped about the tuna and wahoo bite in SE, and Boattronics had posted a great combo bite, wahoo offshore and reds inshore in the NE [...]

Twelve years ago there was a ten year old kid, all 4 feet and 50 pounds of him that was effortlessly executing the double haul, a technique to enhance line speed that takes most adults years to master at the 1999 West Palm Florida Sportsman Fishing Show. An impromptu audience gathered to watch, mouths open. “He’s the next Lefty Kreh,” whispered a fishing guide [...]

With cool fronts still making their way through most of the state Capt. George was looking to south for some action and found it in the upper Keys. Action88 posted in the Keys region, “the bite was HOT today with mangrove snapper up to five pounds, big porgies (probably released 20 big ones), a few hogs as well as some keeper mutton snapper [...]

Captain George needed to venture west from his southeast home. But it wasn’t that easy. Cold fronts, winds, water temperatures and a lack of fishing reports were working against him. That is until Blake began posting extra strong reports of quality inshore action. There’s nothing like topwater action to get the blood pumping first thing in the morning [...]

Go figure, the state’s largest city, one of the state’s best tarpon fisheries, and hardly anyone is fishing for them. Captain George didn’t want to be kept in the later company any longer. As a result of mixed reports in the South Region it didn’t seem like a trip to Miami for the winter-early spring tarpon run was in the cards [...]

With all the talk recently surrounding the Bassmaster tourney on Lake Okeechobee RTFS host Capt George Gozdz got an itch to dust off the baitcasters and hit the sweet, fresh water for some bass action. “After several weeks in a row of long road trips and breezy conditions I was looking forward to calming things down with a little nearby lake fishing [...]

With the wind blowing 20 to 30 mph this week, there was no chance of going offshore, Gulf or Atlantic. Most guys around the state didn’t even want to fish inshore due to the wind. “What to do?” thought Captain George Gozdz. With time running out to film a show George contacted nearby Southeast Forum member Adam White (mr.redfish79) about fishing Ft. Pierce [...]

Chris Clark (Keypond) guaranteed fish. Here’s the conversation between Capt. George and Chris.

“Tell me what you want to catch and we’ll catch it,” Clark said.

“I want to catch what you posted, grouper and amberjack,” George replied.

Captain George was hooked.

“It’s not everyday you see a post where the angler is strapped to an 80-wide while standing on the beach connected to a ten foot hammerhead. It was a no-brainer, I had to check this out,” exclaimed George.
