Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. I booked a trip with pro Capt. Rob Gorta of Fishing St Petersburg.  We were hoping the Tarpon would be out to play but they we not in the area so we elected to head out for Snook and Redfish.  This is the second time I had fished with Capt Rob and this twice I have been amazed at how he can find white bait without chumming, throw the 10′ net and overfill his live well to the extent that he has to release half the bait in the net back into the water because the livewell is overfull.  Anyway, we fished a lot of different areas from flipping under dock to the sand beach area of Egmont Key.  It was a good steady day of hooking up with snook from 20″ to 36″.  We had quite a few on that were lost to being in the pilings or cut offs but we still managed to boat 8 Snook.  We also hooked up with a few redfish but by in large it was a full day of fighting Jacks from 3lbs to 7lbs.  They were everywhere and while they are not good to eat pound for pound they were a lot of fun to catch.  It started to look like ran and it was about time to head in so we called it a day.  I recommend Capt Rob, this was my second trip with him and he always gets you on fish.  I spoke with him about working a deal for Wish To Fish and we will be putting together a way for him to help the club with our Wish to Fish program in the near future.

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. I joined Mike Tuesday morning for a day of inshore fishing around the mouth of the Anclote River.  We headed out just after low tide and just as we entered the channel headed out into the Gulf around Marker 9 we ran into birds working the water so we stop and in just a few cast had hooked up with a few ladyfish.  They were nice size and we kept one for bait if we came on Mackerel which never happened.  We fished from the Gulf Harbors North Channel in 3 to 12 feet of water back down to the Anclote river channel catching a few small trout so we headed down to Marker 5 on the IC and worked our way in from 11 feet of water to 3 ft of water.  We manage to catch a good number of small trout and Mike caught the biggest of the day 161/4″.  We fished all artificals and no live bait all day.
