CAPTAIN DICK ARNDT
TOURNEMENT ENTRY YES
Finally caught a decent size SNOOK (30 1/2 inches) off the island out of the Anclote River. Hope this qualifies for the snook tournament. Pam also caught a doubleheader. Hooray! Now trying to send the picture. Talk about techno ignorant people, that’s us. Patience is a virtue.

State the length and species in the box below | Took Denis out of the Anclote ramp on great looking morning around 8AM. Tried fishing for reds along the south side of the power plant, but no luck. Moved out into 4 ft of water, threw white Gulp jerk bait while drifting out on a light breeze. I caught a trout on each of my first 10 casts. Denis was throwing a silver Gulp chub. Over the course of the next 3 hours we caught approximately 50 trout, several lady fish, lizard fish, and a flounder. We decided to only keep 5 of the keeper size trout, releasing all others. Headed back in at 12:30. Another great day on the water! |

State the length and species in the box below | I finally found time after Milton to check out my boat and see if it would run. I ask John Greider to come along for the ride. When I got to the boat the tilt trim worked fine but the battery didn’t was almost dead so I smacked a batter charger on it. I call John to tell him the news and he said we should go fishing in his boat for a couple hours, so we did. The water was clear in some areas and murky in others but we caught small to medium trout and ladyfish along with buffers, lizard fish and black drum. It was not one of those days you brag about but it was so good to get back on the water and feel the tug on the line. |

| Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below | I got a call late Friday to fill a spot on a charter fishing out of Clearwater on Sunday. Of course I jumped at the opportunity and got up at 4:00 AM to meet the crew at 6:00 at the Clearwater Marina. I met Capt Tommy LaRonge and his mate on their 28′ center console and Tommy told my friend Mike Perez that he has been saving the spot we were going to fish, just for him and our crew. We left Clearwater Marina, picked up some bait and cleared the harbor at 7:15 We settled into beanbag’s for the 80 mile run. We stopped short of Tommy’s numbers to get and anchor bearing, but happened to land right on top of a school of Red Snapper. All six anglers were baited and dropped in 120′ and almost immediately 3 of the 6 were doubled over with red snapper and the other 3 rods followed in short order. We limited out on these snapper and Tommy decided it was time to move to his actual spot, about 4oo’ away. Tommy warned us we were about to get schooled and he was right, but an hour later, after prying the rods off the gunnel, we had limited out on Gag Grouper, all between 30″ and 33″. It was time to wash the boat down and settle back into the bean bags for the run home. Long hours of running for 2 hours of fishing but it was worth it. |
