Two Georges, Tarpon Springs
March 24, 2021

As guessed, the weather for the ‘A Fun Day Fishing’ was great! Nine Fish On! members started boarding about 6:30 AM, it was an early start to coffee and swapping stories. The crew was made up of Denis Surctte, Dave Taylor, Jerry Hanes, Jim Shanahan, Mike Spanhel, Larry Pitman, Frank Bellizio, Jim Ross and Terry Reelitz.

Weather and winds behaved; the tide was a little lazy for most of the day which slowed the bite down a bit. All in, the Grunts were abundant and feisty, the usual critters were present though the day on the boat. The occasional Lizard and Puffer fish made appearances. Hogfish bite was tough, think there were only 2 or 3 caught on the boat for the day. The stars of the day were a KingFish and Amberjack that caused a flurry of crew and customers getting out of the way as the fish came screaming by. Also several Groupers were caught with all being short though.

An awesome day, there was ample time for members to catch up, and just shoot the breeze. It was fun to walk off the boat with a bag a filets and not have to worry about cleaning the boat or cleaning fish – it was unanimous among the group – it was ‘A Fun Day Fishing’!

Slow bite north of the sand bar, but Denis S. managed to land a nice 22 1/2 inch spanish mackerel in addition to smaller ones by Butch and Craig. East of sand bar produced very little except lady fish. Near south end of Anclote Island only sand perch were found in 12 ft of water. North of Anclote river the flats gave up one trout after another with Butch hauling in a 16 3/4 in her. Probably 15 to 18 trout in all. Most of the days catch was caught using Gulp and Mirrordines. Headed back to Nick’s Park at 2:30.

State the length and species in the box below I was grateful for the invitation by Mark to go out for some hogfish.  We all headed out at the crack of 9 am.  First stop wasn’t productive so we went out to 25 miles and settled into his hog area.  We didn’t catch our limit but we caught a lot of hogs, grunts and a sheepshead on live shrimp. My biggest hog was 16.5. Home at a reasonable hour after a safe and enjoyable day on the water.  Thanks Mark.

State the length and species in the box below After checking the weather on Sunday and seeing the weather on Monday would be great, I called Jim T, Bob S, and friend Joe, we quickly planned an off shore trip for Mon. We left Nick’s park at 6 and headed out 50 miles offshore. We stopped at 102 feet and started immediately catching keeper sized Red Grouper. We moved around 4 or 5 times and caught fish at each spot. We released 8 to 10 keepers  up to 23 in over the course of the day quitting at noon with our limit of nice sized fish. Bob S caught the biggest, a nice 30 in red. He also caught a 25 in ARS which he thought was a monster grouper. We all agreed it was one of our best days.
