Big Everglades Pompano

This is the first day I have been back on the water since my vacation. It was a very nice day as the fishing and weather was great. Paul, Ray and John have been comeing over for the last five years to fish with me for whatever is biting. These guys went to school together and make a fishing trip like a short reunion. The exception is that this year John's wife Heidi came along. So the four of them showed up at the dock early as to catch the tide right.

Our first stop was the flat cause they love to take there limit of trout home with them. Surprise, surprise we started to catch nice big pompano. (10 of them) These pomps were 3-4 pounders and can put up a great fight. While catching pompano we also caught trout, ladyfish, mackerel and bonnet head sharks. I think today we actually caught the biggest bonnet head shark that I have ever seen. When that spot started to slow, we moved to try some snook fishing. By this time is was time for lunch. We gave snook fishing about 20 min. but nothing happening. We went over to a flat close by to try for more trout and did catch a couple and 1 pompano, but the water was dirty and we started catching quite a few cat fish. The rain started to build up for the afternoon and was getting close to us so we headed back to the north (closer to home) and went to the flat we were catching the pompano to start with.

Wow, what a lot of ladyfish (poor man's tarpon). Ladyfish everywhere. You couldn't get a bait through the ladyfish to catch any thing else. Well, they did have fun trying to land them as they jump a lot and is a challenge to get them to the boat. We call them poor man's tarpon cause they look like a little tarpon and jump like a tarpon. Spending more time in the air then the water. The rain was right on our backs so we decided to call it a day. As we were headed back Paul say he sure was hoping for a redfish. With that in mind I stopped at the next island and said okay guys five minutes. They all jumped up grabbed their rods, baited up and Paul got one on the first cast. Nice keeper size redfish for the grill. Then Ray got one about the same size. We hated to leave but that storm was coming up on use fast and it's not fun being on the water in a thunder storm. We did get several pictures before the rain came in. So until next time "come on down cause the fishing is great and the weather is fine"
