 June and July

2010

 

 

Once again I am a little late getting out my report.  Fishing has been pretty busy especially during June with tarpon  season going strong.  June was a great month and July has been good also.  We have escaped the oil and not had any problems at all. In fact the fishing has been about as good as it can get during this summer so far. 

One trip was with Terry from Minn. and his son, Matt, who just finished med school.  They were taking some days fishing before Matt had to start work.  We hit it good with some big kingfish.  We thought we might have to use Matt’s doctor skills to sew up Terry’s chin due to a kingfish shaking his head and cutting Terry’s chin.  We had a great three days of fishing and  lots of excitement.

Another great rip was with Karen Shawn and Steve.  They have fished with me several times in the past and this trip was pretty good with sharks, barracuda, snapper, grouper and other varieties.  We even had a 15 ft. hammerhead circle the boat for a while.  Man that was a huge fish that could swallow you whole.

Snook fishing was good also as these pictures of Kelly and Brian indicate.  Kristi also had a nice snook

Tarpon season kicked in and Chris landed a nice one fishing with his dad Chuck.  Another father and son team, Bucky and Daniel also got in on the tarpon and Daniel landed a good too.

Up next was  the family of John, Sheldon. Shaylin, and Mariah.  We landed some of everything from amberjack to barracuda to sharks.  Sheldon proclaimed he was the shark champion.

Permit and amberjack fishing was good for a while and Rob, Jeff and Bob each caught a nice permit.  We caught some on a couple of other trips but no pictures.

The last pictures of several clients show we have had a great time with some very big trout.  Those trout are so pretty and good eating and have made a great comeback from the red tide of 2005.

August is about here and it is hot!!!!  Fishing is good one day and fair the next but the trout and spanish macs have been the hot items.  This should continue throughout the summer and as fall comes in the big kingfish will return.  No oil so come on down and have some fun in the sun catching some good fish.  Captain Tom
