February 14, 2012 Comments Off on Everglades for the next three days

Tonight we leave for 3 days of fishing with Captain Joe Rodriguez. The water is warm (and warming), and my guess is that the first day will be spent looking for redfish and the next two for our tarpon. A report will follow. ncl/tac

Current weather, Friday offshore

February 12, 2012 Comments Off on Current weather, Friday offshore

It’s cold, that’s for sure. While this little front is scheduled to leave in the next few days, the sub-60 degree weather is shocking, especially after such a mild (and tarpon filled) winter. On Wednesday I leave for 3 days in the Everglades with Joe Rodriguez in pursuit of the 6, and the high is…

February 7, 2012 Comments Off on Fishing Last Night

Last night Aaron and I went off for a tactical tarpon mission–he had seen some fish and we wanted to get after some bigger fish at night, something we hadn’t done in a while. We waited for the rain to clear and headed out. Aaron caught a small fish in short order while we waited…

Our Fishing During the Cuda Bowl…

February 5, 2012 Comments Off on Our Fishing During the Cuda Bowl…

Aaron and I had a tough two days of fishing, mostly due to the ridiculous amount of wind and cloud cover that typified the two days of tournament fishing. Day one was cast, strip, repeat until your done. All this effort netted (ha! get it?) us one 28 inch fish and two more bites from…

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…

Fishing with Steve, Part 2

January 28, 2012 Comments Off on Fishing with Steve, Part 2

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…

Fishing With Steve, Part 3

January 28, 2012 Comments Off on Fishing With Steve, Part 3

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…
