Fishing Report:
Mark Morningstar, Dave Cannon and I went out with Capt. Pat Pinder for an inshore charter. Capt. Pinder spoke at our last club meeting. A somewhat slow day probably due to the water temperature. Fished between Fred Howard Park and the Gulf Harbors south channel. Caught 2 keeper trout plus numerous small ones plus the usual variety of others. At the next meeting Mark may want to mention how the slot redfish he caught seemed to escape. Fish Bites turned out to be the best bait for the day.

Fishing Report:
Sorry for this late report. David Diel, Bob Sherley, Terry Reelitz and I plus 2 friends of Dave went out looking for ARS with Carlos. Stopped in 130 feet of water. The boat caught its limit of ARS plus several red grouper plus numerous other snapper. Bob Sherley made up for the 30+” snapper he had to release before the ARS season opened by catching this 30-1/2″ ARS, the largest fish caught on the trip.

Chet, Mark & Mark’s son Chris left Nicks Park boat ramp aboard Capt. Bill’s flats boat at 8am. shot over to the Energy Management area. Chet’s first cast hooked a 12.5 inch Snapper. Good start ! We fished Green Key, Cross Bayou, Sand Bay, and North Channel Rocks. For the 1/2 day charter we ended up keeping a couple Gator Trout caught by Chris, one of Marks Red fish, and Chet’s Snapper. All other Snook, Red Fish, Trout, Snapper and Catfish were safely returned. Weather was PERFECT! Good day out o

Fishing Report:
Read this while humming the tune ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ by George Thorogood and the Destroyers: One mackerel, one trout, one ladyfish. Went out today with Frank Bellizio and Carl Mogavero and had a fun day together on the water. Got the Spanish and trout on a topwater lure. No pic of the mackerel – I was too enthralled with his artistic ability as he tried to make a Jackson Pollack rendering when doing his dance with gyrating fins and gills as his blood spread on the cockpit floor.

Fishing Report:
Mike Spanhel and I went out for a day of fishing on my boat. We started north of the tiki hut and stayed there for the day. While the trout catch was intermittent, the bite that was predominate was ladyfish! So many that we lost count. It was just about every other cast we had one on the line and fortunately for us (and the boat) they were of the self ejecting hook species that set themselves back home. I even coaxed them to the surface with a topwater lure. A great day on the water!
