Saturday Fishing Trip

Monday, September 25th, 2006

 Arrived at the Skyway at 2pm and netted tons of spanish sardines. Me and my girlfreind then went to our favorite grouper snapper spot and fished for about 4 hours. During the 4 hours we caught one undersized snapper and 23 undersized grouper. We did get broke off about 5 times total to some hogs. I guess that is how the cookie crumbles.

This Months Tip

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Make sure your tackle is up to par. make sure you have no weak spot in you line. Make sure you reel has been properly cleaned and greased. I have seen to many people lose large fish and fish in general due to tackle failure. When fishing in saltwater in is critical that you rinse you reel after each use with freshwater. Saltwater is more corrosive than people may think. That is it for this months tip of the month, good luck ad tight lines ;)

Tuesday Fishing Report

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

I went out to the Gandy around 4:30pm…the storms where off in the distance, me Chris and Jason went ready to catch our limit in pompano, we where prepared with stratics, goofy jigs and shrimp. As we began fishing the weather seemed to interfere, we decided to keep fishing…after about 20 minutes we had about 5 mackerel and one spade fish, inwhich we released. The wind started blowing and the rain came so we called it a night.

Fishing Report

Monday, September 18th, 2006

Well, I went out to the skyway pier around 5:30pm on Saturday. I went prepared to catch blacktips. I stopped at the beggining of the south pier to catch mackerel and ladyfish. I started off with a gotcha lure and caught a few mackerel. Then I decided to swap out lures to a yellow 1/4 jig. I hooked up with a 50lb tarpon, I was only using my Shimano Sedona, but suprising enough I sundudd the fish and took him to the rocks where I removed my lure and properly revived him. I the went to my spot that I like to setup for shark. I floated out a nice lady fish but the wind picked up an it started blowing our baits back to the bridge so we called it a night. Overall it was a great fishing night!
