Overall, the fishing in Baffin Bay has been fair to tough this year. We have not been catching a lot of fish, but the big fish is what has kept us going strong. There has been many days where we have grinded all day long for 15-20 fish, but we have managed several 7-10 pounders. The whole purpose of fishing here in Baffin is for the chance to catch a fish of a lifetime, therefore we have had success on many trips, but the numbers of fish caught has been lower than ever. Speaking with many locals, other guides and a biologist, we can only come up with the fact that the drought has hurt the fishing in Baffin Bay this year. The best lures here lately have been Gambler Baits all the way...hottest colors have been KeyLime Pie, White, Plum/White tail and Texas Tea. I have tried top waters on many occasions and have not had much success yet, but it should turn on very soon. The best top waters for me over the past years have been the Mirrolure He-Dogs and She-Dogs. I have extended my Baffin season and plan to stay down here thru May 8th this year and then return to Port O'Connor on May 9th. I was planning on taking this time off during the first week of May, but now decided to stay down here and fish. So these days are available to fish with me down here now, if you are interested, let me know soon...
