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!

Tournament Species/Length:
Mike Spanhel 15″ sea trout

John Grieder 14″ sea trout

Fishing Report:
This may sound like a broken Willie Nelson tune but…back on the water again, with wife Lori and friend Frank Bellizio. Stopped at a few spots and finally found a good run of trout. Smallish but still fun. Lori was the day’s winner with a nice 18 inch Spanish mackerel. Beautiful day on the water. Spring is finally here!

Fishing Report:
Mike Spanhel and I joined Capt Carlos for a day of near shore fishing for sheepshead and hogfish. We were joined by 4 other Florida residents. One angler brought his daugher age 15 along. For the first 2 hours she outfished us all. She had the sheepshead zeroed in. Finally the rest of us caught on and it was a great day of skipping spot to spot catching a few sheepshead or hogfish at each. I did manage to catch a 21″ Hogfish, the largest ever caught on Carlo’s boat.

Fishing Report:
Frank Bellizio and I finally got back out on the water and had a great day after setting the hook (sorry – olde sailor speak for dropping the anchor) and stayed in one spot for the rest of the day. Speckled sea trout were consistent as were various sizes of puffers who put on a show begging to go back in the water. (The ubiquitous cormorants know to avoid them) At any rate we had a good day of fishing in the bright sunshine and, after the wind died down a bit, fair seas.

Tournament Species/Length:
John Grieder – Speckled sea trout – 13 inches

Fishing Report:
After picking up 500 of the freshest shrimp we went to the north to one of my sheepshead spots in 21 ft of water . We had very slow tides today until late in the day but we got the fish going pretty good with the guys boxing 12 nice sheepshead there before heading deeper for the hogfish . First spot in 46 ft wasn’t that good on the hogs but the grunts there were 14 inch average so we took about 70 of them off that spot and then pushed out to 60ft for a hot bite on the hogs with the 5 guys (Dave

Fishing Report:
Went Kayak fishing at the Salt Spring State Park Saturday with Phil Ackley. The tide was outgoing and there wasn’t much strength to the flow. I fished frozen shrimp at the narrow cut through catching short black drum, red drum, sheep head and some ladyfish. after the tide turned and the water depth increased we moved to the back of the park and set up casting toward shore with white paddle tails. No bite till a 21 inch speckled trout hit and nothing afterwords.

Tournament Species/Length:
Speckled Trout, 21 inches
