Just the other day I got a call from my good buddy Capt. Lori Deaton of Lady Fish Charters. Capt. Lori asked if I had a charter in the a.m.. When I told her I was wide open she asked if my financee, Ashton and I might want to do some snookin' up river. {%image_id=7047%} {%image_id=7045%} Only after leaving the SkyWay with the the live well darker than a lunar eclipse ,did we head east towards the Little Manatee River. {%image_id=7048%} Once up the river it didn't take long to locate fish, and it took less time to realize who was going to catch them all. Ashton often mates on my boat and spends alot of time baiting hooks and dropping anchor, but seldom gets to fish. However, this day she did get to fish and fish she did.{%image_id=7043%} Ashton managed to land some nice snook free- linig live sardines under the mangroves. A nameless cut just north of Devil's Elbow proved to be the hot spot of the day and it was here that Ashton boated her slam. {%image_id=7041%}{%image_id=7044%}{%image_id=7046%} Black Point also gave up a nice snook. However, the water closer to the mouth of the river was noticeably clearer. I beleieve this contributed to the fish being a 'lil spookier. Not to mention the water temperature may have been a few degrees cooler on the bay side of the river (probably under the 60 degree mark which is border line lockjaw for snook) {%image_id=7049%}{%image_id=7050%} After a good day of fishing, our bellies full of beer, and Capt. Lori's awesome turkey sandwhiches we called it a day. If you would like to book a trip with Capt. Lori of Lady Fish Charters she would be happy to put you on the fish! To contact Lori call 813-967-5032 Till next time , have a safe and quality day on the water. Capt. Sean
