Happy New Year!
Greetings and Happy New Year from Baymen Guide Service, Inc.!
Hard to believe another year has passed and it is now January. One of the greatest things about 2016 is, it is The Election Year when the people of the United States of America vote in our new President. A BIG A-MEN to that and it can’t come fast enough!
Another great thing about 2016 is, I am trying to figure out how to purchase a new guide boat. The BAYMEN III is doing very well, but she is showing her age (character) and celebrates her 12th birthday this year. Same as my truck, and both are still going strong. But it would be nice…
For those of you interested in the personal side of things, you will be happy to know I finally got my gutters cleaned out and half my “lawn” raked. Monumental achievements for a Baymen who would rather be fishing or hunting than doing yard work. I am also working on finally getting my book published this winter. It has been sitting on my desk for far too long, and I am already working on a second book. I will keep you posted and hopefully have #1 published before the spring season gets here.
2017 BOOKINGS UNDERWAY!
The 2016 season is nearly booked and we are starting our 2017 charter season bookings right now. Don’t delay if you want to fish the prime dates with me in 2017: May, June and September. Spring dates always go fast and fall trips almost as fast. August dates book slowest as that is our slowest time of year for fishing as a general rule. This past season (2015) was really good for fish numbers for both striped bass and blues. Size of keeper striped bass was on the small side and size of blues remained solid with some giants in the mix. I predict 2016 to be loaded with small to medium keeper striped bass and big blues once again. And I am thinking 2017 could be a BIG year for big bass inside our bay. The year classes look promising based on what we have been seeing. Time will tell…
So, for all of you that have already booked up your 2016 and 2017 charter dates, I can’t wait to fish with you again! And for all of you still on the fence – call or e-mail today and book a trip for the New Year. I would love to put you on the fish!
Tight Lines & Happy New Year. We are only about 12 weeks out from the spring trout season!
Sincerely,
Capt. Dave
