Boy oh Boy, what a beautiful Snook. This was a very exciting fishing trip for Harold Fox his wife Marcy and their son Jeramie. This family has never caught Snook or Tarpon before. They fished with me last year and we caught a lot of Redfish, Trout and a big Shark. Well, they can't say that anymore. They actually jumped 9 Tarpon and landing 1 nice Tarpon. We also landed 2 Snook out of 6 (one nice size Snook and one 43" Monster Snook). Caught a Goliath Grouper and Jacks. We went out to the flats to check on the trout, but the water was still murky. When we got back to the dock, Harold said that this fishing trip was a "thrill of a lifetime" He was still shaking from being so excited with catching that Monster Snook. We also saw manatees, dolphins, spoonbills, and lots of wading birds. Fishing in the Everglades National Park is one true experience of a lifetime

Today Nick and Stephanie met me a the dock early for a day of fishing. We went out on the flat to catch some trout for dinner. Well, the trout won with the boat catching a few small ones. Nothing for dinner today at lease not trout. We switched over to jigs and they had a blast catching ladyfish. These fish are also called poor mans tarpon cause they jump like a tarpon. Staying out of the water more then in the water. It is a real challenge to get one in the boat as they usually throw the hook after about the second or third jump. While we were fishing on the flats we also watched the manatees. At one time they were all around us, guess maybe about a dozen. They didn't stay up very long, but just long enough to get a good look at them. We moved to another flat to try and find the trout when all we could see were schools of bait and tarpon. Well, want to catch a tarpon I said, Nick and Stephanie stepped right up and said sure. So guess what, you got it, she jumped and landed her first tarpon. It jumped twice, but stayed hooked up (glad we had some practice on ladyfish) This wasn't a baby tarpon, but a full grown one. I would estimate it weighed between 80 and 100 lbs. Not bad for a first and she did a great job. Nick was her coach and support group he also took some pictures of her fighting the fish and he also got a short video.(don't forget to watch it) On the way back in we found some dolphins and got them to play at the back of the boat in the wake. This is really neat to see. They actually ride the wake like a surfer would ride a wave. Anyway it was an interesting day on the water right from the start with catching trout and ladyfish, fighting and landing a tarpon all while seeing manatees, dolphins, and lots of birds.

Bob and Barb had a nice day on the water today. The bite wasn't fast, but we did catch some fish. Actually we caught Mangrove Snapper, Jacks, Trout, one Snook, and had a good time catching these fish. Barb had only fished a couple times before, but she caught on fast and was doing a great job casting and catching fish. Oh yea, she also caught a small gag Grouper. Good job Barb. Bob is a bass fisherman so already new how to cast and everything. He did catch his first snook. It wasn't a big guy, but a nice size snook and Bob did a good job keeping it out of the rocks. Way to go Bob. The weather was nice, but started to get a little hot in the afternoon. We really need for it to start raining again in the evenings to cool things off a little. That's it for now, but come back again.

Wow, what a beautiful day out on the water. While we were fishing on the flats catching trout, ladyfish and jacks a manatee came right up along side of the boat, guess she just wanted to say hello. We also saw turtles, dolphins, bald eagles and a lot of wading birds. Fishing was a little slow, but along with trout, ladyfish and jacks we managed to catch snook in the slot and of course the big ones got away. We also jumped a couple tarpon toward the end of the day, losing one right at boat as I was leaning to get the net. We'll get that one next time. On the whole, I would say it was a great day on the water. Can't wait till tomorrow.

Today we caught Snook, Redfish and Tarpon. Didn't go trout fishing, but am sure they were there also. Had a great day out on the water. The rain didn't start until about 6:30pm which is what I like. Well, that's it for now.

Fishing has been good. We are catching snook, trout, redfish, snapper (mangrove) and tarpon. The weather is warm and predictable. It usually rains every evening which cools things off for the night, but doesn't spoil your fishing day.
