Live Scoring for Tournaments

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:53:09 -0500

There is a company that really has made a great live scoring program for fishing tournaments. The company name is CatchStat.com and they have created a real time scoring solution that is being used by many tournaments in the Florida Keys, Carribean, Mexico. The great thing about their program is that it is web-based which allows anyone in the world with Internet access the ability to be go directly to the scoring page and know whats going on minute by minute during the tournament. Many teams are also able to access the results from their I-phones, Blackberrys, or from their wireless laptops onboard. The socing site is also great because it has a great layout and I find myself spending a lot of time clicking around it to view the team profiles and fish caught. I especially like the ability to view from the 1st fish caught instead of just knowing the top 10. Their ability to score the IGFA Offshore World Championship and the World Sailfish Championship. Check out their scoring solution because if you are on a tournament board, I highly recommend using their system. They will be scoring the Capt. Bob Lewis Billfish Challenge starting Sat., Feb. 27.

Don't give me the Beatles, I just want to go Salmon Fishing

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 19:41:00 -0500

Wasn’t it the Beatles who wrote the song about living in a yellow submarine? There’s music and friends and a life of ease. The submarine charges full speed ahead in the sea of green. Funny, though, I did notice one mention of any fish.

Salmon Give Canada-Bound Fishermen Run for Their Money

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:01:03 -0400

Despite low salmon numbers in many North American fishing areas, Canadian salmon fishing showed surprisingly good numbers and a strong finish to a healthy fishing season.

Due to poor spawning returns in 2008, many fishing areas in the northwestern United States launched the 2009 fishing season with low limits and strict regulations. Washington, for example, announced a late start to the season while Oregon and California closed salmon fishing in some areas altogether. Some fishermen wondered if great salmon fishing was a thing of the past. British Columbia, though, did not have to lower salmon limits and had a surprisingly strong season of King salmon fishing.

Here a snapper, there a snapper, everwhere a snapper, snapper!

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:52:57 -0400

The 2009 Snapper Season has brought plenty of activity and fun for the family. You really can't go wrong with locations. Many reports from all over the Nassau County area indicate there are snappers everywhere. Small spearing or any small or shiny law will do the trick. It's almost like fishing with dynamite.

Captain Randy's Sabine Lake Texas Fishing Report

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:48:59 -0400

Sabine Lake fishing is great we are fishing the south end of the lake on up to mid-lake. There are lots of birds working over big schools of trout feeding on shrimp. The best bite is on outgoing tides and the best baits are Bayou Chub Minnows in LSU and 12 Fathom Scare-face Shrimp in glow, both work best tipped with fish bites shrimp, Good numbers of fish can also be found in the Sabine Pass ship channel. These fish will be keying in on mullet in 4 to 10 feet of water. The go to baits in the channel will be Browns Devil Eye in glow with a ¼ ounce Tru-lock jig. The Sabine Pass jetties are yielding boxes of trout to 6lbs, on the early morning bite and incoming tide. The bait out at the jetties are Stanley shrimp in glow/chart on bottom and under Mid-coast Inticer corks fished close to the rocks. There will be redfish mixed in those trout out at the jetties as well. The triple tail have shown up and we are boxing good numbers of them in the surf and in the gulf. The beach front is also holding good numbers of trout to 7lbs when the winds lay down, top water bite is best early morning. Good fishing Capt Randy 409-719-6067

Fluke Fishing Reports

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:18:41 -0400

The good news holds up in regards to the fluke fishing. Reports coming in indicate that they are still active in the bays. Your best bets are Swift Creek, Haunts Creek and Broad Creek. A little further to the west in Merrick Bay, we have been hearing good things as well. Fish the channel edges using bucktail and teaser rigs. We also recommend using a spinning rod with 10lb-12lb test and tipping the jigs with spearing or a Berkley Gulp.

Spring Break Time

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:20:16 -0400

It’s Spring break time! Breaking weather patterns, breaking Mid-West car tail lights and breaking water surfaces!

White bait has been easy as long as I get out early before the winds pick back up. With the water temps in the upper 70's, the snook bite has been on a steady increase. Although slot fish have not been showing up yet, the cookie cutters in the 20 to 25 inch range have been chewing on every spot I frequent in Naples. Half day trips have been averaging 15 to 20 snook with just as many Jacks.

2009 New York Fluke Regulations - Let Your Voice BE HEARD

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:48:11 -0400

As you may or may not know, NY has implemented some of the toughest regulations for Fluke fishing in history. Due to many years of so-called "fisheries managers" MISTAKES, we are forced to comply with rediculous regulations.

New York Fluke Fishing Regulations - 2009 Regulations are set

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 12:18:00 -0400

First off, we would like say to how disgusted we are with not just our fisheries "managers" but with our "elected officials" as well. As far as we're concerned, our tax dollars and our votes have been completely WASTED.

ALL NEW St. Croix Legend Surf Rods

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 12:56:50 -0500

First thing we can say is.... NICE! These are some sweet new surf rods coming from St. Croix for the 2009 surf season. Our factory rep was recently in the shop to show us some of the new Legend Surf Rods and we are certainly impressed.

Purchasing a Rod? Here are some things to consider when trying to find "The Right Tool For The Right Job”

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:19:30 -0500

We have been selling fishing rods for over 75 years and we always hear the same questions. Here are a few things that may help you with your decisions.

Here at Causeway Bait and Tackle, we stock a tremendous number of rods and reels made by many different manufacturers in many different styles, actions and price points. There are so many different rods and reels that it can be quite confusing, for even the “veteran” fisherman. When selling a rod and reel to a customer, we'll occasionally relate fishing rods to golf clubs or tools. You can’t play golf with only one club… why… Because every hole is different and sometimes you need to hit the ball as far as you can, sometimes 150 yards, maybe 20 yards and finally putt the ball into the hole. Each shot requires a certain club to suit that shot. With tools it’s the same theory. You have flat head screws, Phillips head screws, nuts, bolts and so on. Many of these require a tool made for that specific type of screw or bolt. Well, fishing is much the same. For example, one day you like to fish for flounder, in the back-bay where you only need a 2 or 3 ounce sinker and the fish you might catch can be a pound or two. The next day, it’s the Blackfish you want to target, and you need to fish in about 100 feet of water with an 8 or 10 ounce sinker to deal with a heavy current and the fish can range from 3 to 10 pounds. We believe these should be two completely different rods and reels. A heavier outfit for the heavier sinker, heavier line and definitely for more line capacity than you would need in the back bay; And the other rod would need to be much lighter with less line capacity for the shallow, calmer waters of the back-bay. In a perfect world we would ALL love to have 50 different outfits, but… being in the bait business, none of us at Causeway are millionaires… so we understand BUDGETS too! So, here’s the deal… if you ask yourself these few simple questions, and it can make your buying decisions much easier.

Inshore Fishing Heating up on the Georgia Coast

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 10:07:53 -0500

Nearshore/Inshore Georgia Fishing: NOVEMBER 2008
By: Capt. Richie Lott
Area: Coastal Georgia Backwater and Beachside Areas

Inshore Trout and Red fishing continues to be excellent for most anglers and we all know it only gets better from here. The water temperature is falling pretty quick, now. We went from 86 degrees to the low 70's in a couple of weeks, and now it has crept back up to the 77 degree mark. This sharp decline and then leveling, has sparked a pretty good fish bite in the rivers and near the beaches.
