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.
