What a week to go on vacation! It stormed and rained nearly all week as a tropical low pressure wave sat over us. But, then it was probably better to be on vacation than having trips booked every day that likely would have been canceled. I did have a trip booked for Friday, which I did run.
My trip was with Dr. Tom Wright and his lovely wife Lindsay, of Huntsville, Alabama. We left at first light, and headed to Chino for bait, which has been very good. From there we decided we'd chase redfish, but I wondered how much fishing we might actually get to do.
The weather Gods were with us, though, but the fish we're in a good eating mood. We got on the redfish, and Tom and Lindsay missed /lost several and boated a half dozen or so. Tom also hooked a big ray that gave him a fit for a while. We certainly caught enough to have fun with, but I really wanted to get the fish to turn on for us so I could wear Tom out.
I'm hearing a lot of folks say they're having a hard time finding redfish, but there are a lot of redfish in the Sound. I'm finding them on both sides of the Sound, both north and south. Business is about to fall on it's face for the summer I'm afraid, but I think the redfishing will be good when we are out there.
I have posted the final thumbnailed pictures on the Talon Page of this website, for those interested in seeing how one of these jewels goes together.
If you want to be able to continue to fish Florida waters please follow this link, "Manatee Zones: How You Can Help" and please take the time to become involved, even if you don't live in Florida. Let the politicians know WHY you come to Florida on vacation!
