Fishing Report -- 06-04-13

Today was a group outing, 6 boats in all and about 20 anglers. As with most group things there was some friendly competition to be had. Two classes were established, longest Snook and longest fish overall. Peggy, Mike 1 and Mike 2 were on board with me and the plan was to go for the longest fish overall first. Tarpon were nowhere to be seen so plan B was to try for Kingfish. First spot we tried was really slow with no decent bite. The second spot however was very kind to us and Mike 1 landed a really nice 46 inch Kingfish. We then turned our attention to the Snook category. Peggy hooked and landed a nice 32 ½ inch Snook within minutes of her bait hitting the water. Mike 2 caught a Jack but soon after hooked a nice big Snook which unfortunately wore through the leader and released itself (no fault on Mike 2’s part, the Snook just sawed through the 60 lb leader). After that Mike 2 had a Tarpon bite and a miss, Peggy landed a nice Goliath Grouper and Mike 2 landed and even bigger Goliath Grouper. At the conclusion of the trip we found out that Mike 1’s Kingfish won longest fish overall. The longest Snook was 35 inches. Mike 2’s lost Snook was definitely longer than that, unfortunately it just wasn’t Mike 2’s day else we could have had Mike and Mike both with winning fish. Peggy held her own and definitely showed up the boys when it came to catching the bait, must be the finesse element.
