Went out this weekend to test out the newest addition to the Ships Chandler Guide Service, our 23 HPS Pathfinder powered w/ a Yamaha F-150.  We recently added a stand-thru tower w/ electronic controls.  It’s amazing how versitle this boat really is.  Looking forward to a great spring and summer running charters.  We had a [...]

Joe Welbourn from Carbon Marine was nice enough to drop by and let me try out one of his new items, the LineLair.  It’s for stipping all of your fly line on instead of using a basket.   Can’t wait to test it out this weekend, thanks Joe!!!

It was a beautiful weekend here on the Gulf Coast for fishing.  It was a little cool in the mornings but warmed up enough in the day to make it very nice.  Peter Wright Jr. and Kevin “Mac” McDaniel got into a nice bite of flounder.  They ended up keeping 16 fish, the biggest being [...]

Here’s a few pics from the weekend of Starnes and Trish King, Peter Wright Jr, and Kevin McDaniel with a nice mess of sheepshead.  The sheepshead are starting to really get thick along with a few redfish mixed in.  Fishing will continue to be good, just make sure you can find the live shrimp, they’re [...]

One of the best fish to go looking for during the winter months is sheepshead.  They start stacking up around under water structure especially bridges from now until  the end of March.  Here’s a couple pics of Kevin “Mac” McDaniel and LW with a really nice mess of fish from this past weekend.

Here’s a few pics of one of our good friend and customer Miller Phillip’s tower we just got done rigging on his 24 Tournament Pathfinder.  We seatrialed it today and were extremely impressed at how well the boat performed with the new tower.  Special thanks to TJ at TNT Custom Boatworks for building such a [...]

The crew here at the Ships Chandler decided to head out for an afternoon of fishing and a little flounder gigging afterwards.  We fished a few grass flats the last hour of dark and caught trout, bluefish, and one nice redfish caught by Joe Cope, all on artificial top water.  After that we headed out to [...]

Jeb Tatum, Farrell Tatum, Peter Wright Jr, and Mike Hinze went fishing yesterday to see if they could get on the board for the Destin Fishing Rodeo.  They had a great day with a nice catch of gag grouper, scamp, red grouper, amberjack, almaco jack, king mackeral, red snapper, shark, and more.  There’s a few pics [...]

We had the opportunity to take Steve Andrews from Hook and Trigger Magazine along with a couple friends of his fishing this morning.  The weather was not ideal with winds out of the east 15-20kts, but still managed to have fun and catch some fish inshore including skipjacks, bluefish, cobia, and a couple nice redfish [...]
