Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. It was our last day in the keys and Mike S, Jack H, Stu J and Stu’s brother Paul and me headed down to Key West to go on a offshore charter from Fishmonster on the Yellow Boat.  The captain, Mike, was a funny guy and the mate, Ken, really did a awesome job of keeping the lines weed free and in the water.  The charts showed the area north of Key West was going to be rainy all day but when we left at 7:30 am it was raining and blowing hard with 4′ seas.  The Yellow Boat was a 38 footer and handled the water well.  We saw many boats headed back to the dock and the mate called them quitter’s, lol.  Anyway, we head south and did not see rain again until late in the day when we were having the fish cleaned.  We trolled for the first part of the trip and picked up 7 dolphin.  Stu hooked the largest, it was 20lbs and around 45″.  It was a long hard fight but Stu prevailed.  We then ran in closer to Key West in about 600 ft of water on the edge of a reef where Capt Mike showed us his secret for catching big Yellow Tail Snappers.  He predicted we would catch 10 and we ended up with 9 in the cooler.  We lost a lot of the yellow tails because of the small hooks used but it was an awesome day of fishing and we all recommend Fishmonster Charters if you in Key West.  They have offshore boats, a head boat, and an inshore boat.

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. We woke up here in the Keys to low winds and sunny skies so Jack H, Mike S and me joined Capt Stu for some offshore fishing for Dolphin.  We were out for about 5 hours of trolling and the bite was really slow but we did boat one dolphin. We finally  did some casting at grass clusters and managed too more.  We didn’t boat a lot of fish but had a great time on the water and had enough for dinner.

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. Stu Johnson, Paul Johnson, Mike Spanhel, Jack Hexter and me had spent the last two days waiting for a break in the weather after driving down to Sommerland Key  The weather final broke today so we launched the boat and headed out for a few hours of yellow tail snapper fishing on the reef.  Luck was with us and we caught both yellow tail snapper and paloneto.  We fished for about 2.5 hours and ended up with enough for a fish fry tonight and fish to smoke for dip.  Tomorrow Mia Mia, watch for the report.

Had the pleasure of tagging along with Eric Harrison on his Charter trip he won from the Rajun Cajun Charters for WTF Kids, which was donated to the WTF initiative.Headed out about 9:00 AM, wind was blowing pretty good with a lackluster incoming tide.Pretty tough conditions, it looked like the deck was stacked against, but the Rajun Cajun charged out from the dock with lightning bolts coming from his fingertips.It only took his second stop to find some feeding Snook – it was game on!Over the next couple hours Eric and I caught +12 Snook, both of us lost some ‘Big Girls’ that broke us off. Captain was getting ready to break out the 50 lb. Big Game for leaders, we lost some toads that bit us off.Unfortunately, about that time some nasty red/yellow storms were making a beeline to Bayport.Time to head in, and it was good we did as the white caps reared their ugly heads – got a little wet on the way in – it was a wild and exciting ride!!!!!So, Captain said he was sorry about the pesky Snook keeping us from putting some Redfish/Trout in the skillet – so we have to go back for them. No arguing from me and Eric.A good time was had by all!Thank you, Captain Dencil for all you do for the WTF Kids!!!All Snook were safely returned to fight another day.

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. I received a call from an old business partner and best friend from Wichita saying he was going to come down for a couple days of fishing.  As it turned out Thursday was the only day that had good enough weather but we fished the area in front of the power plant and south of the Anclote river mouth on the spoil islands.  We caught quite a few trout but most in the 14″ range.  It was a nice steady bite all day but I caught the largest trout of the day which was 17″.  We used primarily Gulp plastic but a few fish were caught on live shrimp.  The fish were in deeper water 6′ to 10′.
