We got a late start today around 8:35 am. The weather today is absolutely beautiful and the place is packed! I started Gene and Vlad in a great little spot the Snook we there but no takers. We worked it hard and did not produce a bite. Today is one of those day's, we fished good spots but the fish didn't respond. we caught some bait and went to East Cape Canal this is a high catch percentage place. We put out the baits and waited for the tide to switch, nothing happened for us or the other boats there. We finally had a big bite on a heavy out fit which straightened out Mustad hook. My thought it was a goliath Grouper the way is fighting back and forth but not really running very far. A short time later we ran to another creek, as I anchored up I noticed a bunch of Snook lying in the top of a fallen tree. Gene pitched a bait into the tree and had a big hit, the fish hit it so hard the hook fouled in the bait. Later Vlad caught a pretty nice Trout 23 inches. The day wasn't without it share of problems Genes glasses blew off as we were running and made him visibly upset. I understand having had that happen on more than one occasion. We called it a day. This is a great time for Tarpon, if this is an obsession like it is with me or you would just like to see what its like to fight giant a giant pre-historic fish me give me a call on my cell 305-333-8149. As of this writing we do not know who is playing in the Super Bowl XLI which is coming to Miami on February 4th, the early evening Tarpon Trips are definitely a great way to spend one of the pre game days! Let's go Catch' em, Thanks, Capt.Jimbo, www.CaughtLookinCharters.com, 305 333 8149
Tight Lines,
