Capt. Roland Guides Client to Win

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Can you imagine booking a charter, catching big fish and leaving with a wad of cash? It happened last month to Dr. Richard Baney of Melbourne. Fishing the Riverside Café Fathers Weekend Inshore Tournament in Vero Beach, Dr. Baney, guided by Capt. Roland, caught a trout weighing nearly eight pounds. The huge fish won the trout category and the $750 cash prize as a result. By the way, many of the local inshore tournaments allow contestants to hire guides. If you are interested, give us a call.

July 17, 2008 – Running with the Bulls

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Each year in Pamplona, Spain there is a famous festival which features crazed thrill-seekers running with snorting bulls through the narrow streets of the ancient city. Each summer, in the Indian River, we experience a similar adrenaline rush with our own brand of bulls – bull reds and bull sharks.

Yesterday, joining Capt. Peter and me were Rob and Rick, two veteran anglers from the Orlando area. They sought the thrill of tangling with the ill-tempered bull reds resident on the shallow flats of the river near Titusville. The redfish did not disappoint. Among the seven redfish fought and caught was a monster 51 inch, 38 pound bull which ran Rob up and down the river for an exhausting hour before finally being subdued. This fish, pictured below, ranks as one of the largest landed in our area this summer.
