September 1, 2007 Fishing Report
 

The Snook fishing continues to be incredible!

My clients are throwing the Twitch n Raps most who have read my reports or have fished with me before know that they will produce, some even bringing there own lures. The falling tide on this past month new and full moons has produced some serious Snook action as I have written about. This week was no different Rick and Kathy from San Diego fished with me on Mothers day weekend and they enjoyed it so much they came back for the Labor day weekend. I did not want to disappoint them, they are good anglers and I owed Rick a Tarpon! The day started off quickly with a couple off mullet getting popped as I eased up into the area we were fishing. I power poled down and Rick cast at a boiling fish, his Twitch n rap got knocked out of the water so quick he couldn't react. On his next cast he hooked up and this one was screaming the Spiderwire Stealth of the reel, the Snook ran and ran let us know he was large. The Snook finally jumped;that's when we got a look at the 10 pounder. I netted the Snook for Rick took a photo but before he could release it Kathy was hooked up, she had her own battle to contend with for a few minutes. Kathy is a good angler and usually catches the bigger fish, so Rick was finally up one. The Snook bite was good for almost 2 hours, they caught 20 or 25 Snook along with some big Jacks. The Jacks like the Twitch n Raps too.


The tide got low and we had to move so I ran to an area where I had been find a couple Tarpon, nothing guaranteed but possible. There were some other fish in the mix Bluefish, Trout and Sharks but no Tarpon. The tide was still out going but I needed the incoming for my Tarpon to turn on, so we ran around a bit. The tide started to turn and we got on the Tarpon all of a sudden they were everywhere, the Jacks were really thick there as well. Rick finally hooked a big Tarpon but it eventually threw the lure, that's how Tarpon fishing goes. The winds started blowing hard and the fish shut down.

We ended the day on a little rock pile catching Snappers and trying for a Goliath Grouper. Its late we'll be back tomorrow!
