It was hot out there but John and I headed out on his boat to find some good fishing although the temperatures were both in the air and water. The first area we tried was near the underwater section of the sandbar at the north end of Anclote Key. On our first cast we both caught fish. I caught my largest trout of the day and John are large spot pinfish. We moved several time during the early part of the trips but after slack tide passed we ended up starting a drift near Marker 6 and ended there

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.

The boat caught its limit of ARS plus several red grouper plus numerous other snapper.
