Everglade Fishing Charters Fishing Report for Jan. 2012

FANTASTIC FISHING AND BEAUTIFUL WEATHER

The fishing has been fantastic for the last few weeks, even the week the wind was blowing up to 25 mph the fishing was good. For the last few days the wind has laid back down finally and it is a beautiful day....high of 76 with easterly winds of about 5-10 knots...the rest of the week is suppose to be 2-7 knots...wow, can you believe this weather.

Anyway, we are catching a good mix bag of fish. Which is typical this time of year. Plenty of action on the flats for pompano, trout, bluefish, ladyfish, mackerel and flounder. Around the islands we are catching a nice number of snook, redfish, jewfish, jacks, ladyfish and snapper. We also caught a 23 inch Gag Grouper in the Islands. I had 2 couples fish with me a couple days ago, so we called the girls against the guys. Well, guess who won that day...The girls with a score of 24 to 23(not to bad for a half day charter). We had a hard time keeping track the day before so this day they brought a pencil and pad to keep score with. We actually caught 16 snook and Barb caught the biggest one (snook). These fish weren't monsters, but they are a lot of fun especially when they wanted to see who (guys or girls) could catch and land the most fish. Roberta caught the biggest fish over all being a 49 inch bonnet-head shark. She had a lot of fun catching that one. The guys did a good job keeping up with the girls and of course Jim says "I caught the best eating fish" with his 23" gag grouper. Chuck was having fun just being in the game catching fish and away from work.
