Subject: Fishing Report of 5-07-03
Apalachicola, St. George Island to St. Marks, Florida -- Offshore
Man, we have been blessed with some outstanding weather for fishing here in the last week or so ---------- despite NOAA’s fickle forecasting. Bless their hearts, it’s probably just the fickle weather that’s got them bumfoozled. I just wish those kids would stick their heads outside once in a while to sort of back up their predictions.
We have had a bunch of really fun trips since my last report. And, I’m going to blame my lack of timely reports on our being busy taking great folks out in search of those fickle fishy friends of ours.
True, our grouper and snapper have just now begun to turn on in our part of the Gulf at this time. I’m marking good concentrations of heavy fish on most every stop we make. We have been putting down the finest in baits, including live pin and pig fish, but the most productive baits for us has been our frozen northern mackerel at a ratio of 100 to 1 over the live baits. Yet and still, the bite has been slow.
Mike Summersill and his great group of guys from over in Jacksonville, Andrew Patrick from up in Chillicothe, Ohio along with his family and friends, Mike Broom and his buds from Tallahassee, Danny and Jennie Rutten from Havana and their friends, Andrea Bird and her friends from Tallahassee and Paul, Todd and Ed McCormick and their buds, from just about everywhere in the U.S., can all attest to the fact that fishin’ has been tough for the last week or so. They will also tell you that they had a great time and got involved in a good many tough fish fights.
46 good grouper to 18#, 12 snapper to 9# and a good gaggle of black sea bass and rubys came to the fish box in total for all the folks above. Yep, the fishin’ is tough, but just as fun as ever.
Take those kids fishing
&
Catch Em’ Up!
