The
Hall fishing team of Lin & Ollie were on board today. The day started
looking for Tarpon but no luck with hooking up, we saw a few but didn’t get any
really good shots. Giving up on the Tarpon we went to catch bait and noticed
there were tons of Bonitos cruising around the bait. There was a nasty storm
over land so we opted to stay off shore a little and have some fun with the
Bonitos until the storm passed, and fun we had. Baits didn’t last long before
getting crushed. Then the hunters became the hunted as the sharks decided to
get in on the action and were chasing down the hooked Bonitos. It’s quite eye
opening to see how fast a giant Bull Shark can move when it’s chasing down a
Bonito, a little scary too! Next predator to feast on the Bonitos was a Goliath
Grouper which came up right under the boat and swallowed a whole Bonito like it
was an M&M, that too is an eye opener. Once the arms were aching and enough
Bonitos were caught we moved into the inlet to see what the Snook bite was
doing. Unfortunately it was only so so. They got a bunch of smaller fish but
the nice big girls seemed to elude us today. We plan to target the Snook a few
days next week, hopefully the bigger girls will be more cooperative.
