Everglades Fishing Charters Fishing Report Aug. 29, 2009
SNOOK season opens Sept 1 - so pick up the phone and book your trips soon
Today I fished Gary. He wanted to catch SNOOK and TARPON. Imagine that...the most fun and hardest fish to catch. Anyway, we started our day out with snook and the snook were winning the game with 2 (snook) to 0 (boat). Then Gary turned the score around to 2 to 2. These snook are running in the slot and nice size at that. The smaller one of the bunch seemed to put up the best fight...maybe that's the teenager in him. Then Gary got a hold of something really big that turned out to be a shark. The shark cut him off after a couple seconds so I handed him another rod that I had baited up to make another cast while I re-rigged the one he was using. Sometimes when the sharks move in it's time to change locations cause we can't seem to stop getting bit by them. Gary made a couple more cast before he got bit again by the big shark. This time was a little different. Gary had him on long enough for me to pick up anchor and start heading toward the shark so not to get spooled. He had him on for quite a few minutes when the line broke. I actually think Gary didn't mind that the line broke cause it was gonna be a long battle and he knew it. Instead of fishing for sharks, we decided to leave that spot to go find some tarpon. They were not showing well, my guess, it was because of the wind, but they were there. Gary got hit on his first cast right at the boat but we didn't get a hook up on that one, but got a good look at him. We got a laugh at that cause I had just reminded him that they (the tarpon) sometimes hit at the boat. Anyway, he did jump two that afternoon, but we didn't win the game as the score was 2 (tarpon) to 0 (boat). He had a good time and we got back to the dock before the rain started.
