How about GiddyUp "Attitude"

Tarpon Season has enjoyed a banner week to last 10 days. As always, every single day has not been earth shaking BUT fish were in the air 7 of the 10 days. Most were on the small side for me (60-110LBS)but the aerial shows were extraordinary. If I have said it once or 1,000 times, this all happened coming into and exiting a Full Moon. The next happening? The New Moon. Snook: About as easy as it can be right now. The fish have an insatiable appetite as they head to the beach to mate, lay eggs, and mate some more. Personally I would rather eat after mating, not before. Recently, someone I was dating seemed distantly related to a snook. Needless to say, she didn't make the cut. Trout: The Big Gator Trout are all along the beach with the snook. It is tough teaching people to be patient when experiencing a big trout bite. They take forever and most people jerk the larger baits right out of their mouth. Think about this. How long does it take you to eat a Polish Sausage or a Brat? How would you like it if someone tried to slip it to you before you were done? MAYDAY! Spanish Macks: Ice these fish down as soon as you catch them and they are mighty fine table fare. PLenty of big macks are in and around the Sanibel bridge B and C span area. Flounder: I am catching a lot of huge Flounder. I wish I could tell you where but that would ruin things for me. One hint I can give you is Shrimp (live or DOA) rigged to a jighead and bounced along the bottom. Very slowly. How slow? How about as slow as the mind of George W Bush! Gas is breathing all over 4 F-bucks and he goes begging the sand monkeys for fishing guides like me to survive.
