It's been Hot, Hot, Hot out there!! 
The inshore and nearshore action has been red hot on the sandbars with plenty of good size spanish mackerel, 
ladyfish, bluefish and several species of sharks ranging 2-5ft. Bob Martire and his father who have fished with me 
already 3 times this week got into some really nice redfish (last pics) early this morning that were a good 5-12lbs. 

What a day yesterday! To start the morning My client Rich Walp was trying to catch his first saltwater fish 
on the fly. As I polled him down a flat looking for a school of a redfish a large bonnet head shark was cruising 
the flat and I told him to cast to the shark and wham! the shark was on. Unfortunately the hook got fouled in
the sharks gills during the fight. Had the hook stayed in the sharks mouth it would have been a world record!!
He also  ended up catching his first redfish and flounder on the fly. Not Bad! 

Yesterday afternoon My client Fred Newman and his son had the trip of a lifetime with non stop action catching 
black tip sharks and big spanish mackerel on the surface. The high light of the trip came as a surprise to me about 
a hour into the trip Fred was holding his rod and yelled "Tarpon" I couldn't believe when I looked up and saw the 50
pound taron dancing in the air at a spot where a tarpon had not been hooked or caught in 20 years!! He fought the
tarpon for a hour on my lightest rod on the boat (watch the video!) His catch was one my all time light tackle fights!

A mixed bag of fish the last few days and I cant even begin to tell you how many sharks my clients 
have also caught! I can't complain about the sharks they are a blast to catch on the light tackle!

The past few days have been a little tough due to the big full moon tides but my clients are still 
having fun on some good variety out there. Lots of spanish, sharks ladyfish, bluefish and redfish.

The Jacks Are Back !!!  This big jack crevalle came as a surprise in the last few minutes of the trip as my client
Randy French hooked up and was holding on for dear life as it almost spooled the reel and took all of the line. 
The funny thing is that we were fishing for redfish and sharks on the bottom and thought at first it was just a
shark or a big sting ray.  After a 20 minute minute battle on a light spinning rod we got a glimpse of the fish and 
was amazed that it was a big jack! We snapped a few pic's and released the big girl that I would say was pushing 
close to 30 pounds!

I enjoyed a a few days off this past weekend to recharge my batteries and I couldn't wait to get
 back out on the water and chase some fish. I will say the bite was a little tough today due to the 
big tides but my clients still managed to catch some nice fish on the morning and afternoon trips.
Pictured above David Walker and his Wife Jacky with the fish of the day for sure!!

It was such a pretty day I took the Egret out about 6 miles and got my clients on some monster
spanish mackerel on the light spinning tackle. We fished live bait on the surface and the hook ups 
were amazing to watch as these big spanish hit the baits at 20 mph!
