Frank
had his two grandsons Tristan and Keegan on board today. Tristan and Keegan
have not done much saltwater fishing before today so the goal was just to stretch
a line. The day started out with the most important activity of the day i.e.
catching live bait. It was pretty slow to begin with but finally the Sardines
became more and more cooperative. For guys who don’t fish much Tristan &
Keegan go the hang of the Sabiki thing in no time and soon the wells were full.
We headed inshore a bit to get some small chum baits and in amongst the bait
Tristan landed a respectable Snook. Next we headed offshore in hopes of running
into a Sailfish that were reported around but unfortunately for us we did not
find any. The Bonitos did however keep us pretty busy with regular action until
they had caught enough. Frank a got into the action and landed one on fly. They
weren’t the monster Bonitos but still tough fighters and a lot of fun on
spinning tackle. We headed back inshore to catch the outgoing tide in the inlet.
The Snook fishing was a little slow however Keegan managed to hook a really
nice Snook. It headed into the trees and got hung up. Fortunately it didn’t break
off and after going for a swim we managed to land the 45 inch fish. For two
guys who don’t fish much they did great and I'm sure surprised their grandfather.
