Fishing With Steve, Part 1

January 28, 2012 Comments Off on Fishing With Steve, Part 1

On Sunday night, Aaron and I drove to Everglades City to fish with Captain Steve Huff. After hitting a wayward alligator on 41, we arrived safely at our hotel and inspected the Goose (astro van) for damage. There wasn’t much, and we retired by 11:30 for a 6:30 breakfast meeting. After a great breakfast and…

Day 2 began with clear skies and warm water, and our fishing showed improvement. We fed a large fish at around 10 AM, and pulled the hook out of it’s mouth on the hook set. Immediately thereafter, we hooked a large fish that stayed connected. We survived the first set of jumps and we fired…

Day two ended with some fish that were dipping their tails into the sunlight, and we saw a fish that was very close to the boat that provided a good shot, but I broke the tippet on the hook set. This was the end of day 2, and we returned home for a lovely dinner…

A report, of course, will…

Yesterday I fished with Fitz Coker and Chris Trosset. We intended to look for large cobia and some permit on shallow wrecks west of the Marquesas. As we rounded the southwest corner of the Marquesas, we decided not to run the remaining 25 miles to our destination as the water appeared still quite murky from…

Tomorrow Fitz Coker, Chris Trosset, and myself are going to look for large cobia. The 2, the 4, and the 6 lb records are all beatable with the right fish, and we intend to give any one of them a shot if the opportunity presents itself. Winds are supposed to be nearly nonexistent and Chris…
