Rob
and Dave from Canada were escaping the cold weather of up north, what better
way to enjoy not being in the cold than by going fishing. The wind was just
borderline that we didn’t go into the ocean but we made the best of the
intracoastal. Other than the wind blowing a little more than we wanted the day
was beautiful sunny & warm. Dave started out the day by getting all the
bites. Before Rob got his first bite Dave had landed a Snook, Bluefish, large Sennet Barracuda and a Jack. Rob’s first
bite wasn’t so much of a bite as it was a snag. He snagged a ray in the wing
with a lure. This resulted in an airborne ray and very confused anglers.
Getting the lure out of the ray was quite a challenge but we prevailed and
released the ray to be snagged another day. We noticed some mullet being pushed
by something so Rob deployed the surface lure in the area. He landed two really
BIG Bluefish for this area, they were the largest Bluefish landed on my boat,
the pictures don’t do them justice, for Bluefish in our area they were studs.
Next we moved on to try and find something really big to tug on. Fishing was
really slow for the sharks but finally one decided that it would grace us with
its presence and ate the bait. Rob was off to the races and did a fine job in
bringing this nice Blacktip shark to the boat. A bunch of little Jacks and a
look at a giant Snook that didn’t want to eat our mullet rounded out the day.
Enjoy the winter guys, we’ll be thinking of you as we languish in sunny South
Florida.
