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!
Tournament Species/Length:
Mike Spanhel 15″ 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.
