The fishing has improved this past week and, we were able to fish with our good friends the Lobbestaels. The charter was a Valentines day gift from Machelle to Joel. We started out early in the morning and caught some really great bait. We then proceeded to some fishing holes were I had seen the Snook laying. After a short time a large Snook was hooked but broke the line, it didn’t take long before another line was tight only to find a nice snapper was on board. We then moved to a spot on the grass flats were it was brought to my attention, that Machelle had only caught one fish before this charter. So as luck would have it, after her second cast Machelle hooked a cobia, a good fighting fish even though it was to small to keep you should have seen her face light up, it made my whole day. I asked if they would like to catch some Trout and Machelle was right there with an enthusiastic “you bet”. After moving to a calmer area on the grass flats we stopped at a small hole that was covered by sand and grass. Well, they had a blast; the Lobbestaels caught one Trout after another. The total was probably around 30-40 fish, they could do no wrong, and almost every cast returned a fish. After a while I happened to look over and caught Machelle rubbing her arms, she said they were getting sore from pulling in all those fish (that’s what makes a perfect charter). After a short lunch at a restaurant on the water (only accessible by boat) we headed out for a Grouper hole were only one fish was hooked but he was a big one, he broke the line but that’s the way it is sometimes. It was nice to fish with these folks and fellowship with good friends hope they will never forget this day. And folks remember the Tarpon are coming soon, as a matter of fact I'm seeing a few already but, the big schools are coming so book now, don’t miss out on the best fighting fish in the world.

Well it is February and we have started off great. On my last charter we got into some nice reds, not real big but fun to catch after fishing. After fishing for a couple of hours we decided to move over to the grass flats where we made or casts count and did well with some trout. They were nice in size and gave us a good fight on 10 lb test line. There were also some Lady fish caught and some Spanish Mackerel all in all the day was pretty steady catching and the weather has finally settled down to make an enjoyable time on the water. Later in the week, we had a young man who wanted to catch a good fighting fish and on our way to look for some Reds I spotted a school of Jacks. As some of you know there is no better fighting fish in this range for a young person to catch. They fight like a truck being pulled up a hill; my client caught several nice fish with some weighting in as big as 10 lbs. They are a big fight on light line and since we were not keeping our catch, they decided to stay and have fun with the Jacks for the remainder of their charter. Many fish were caught and a new fisherman was born or should I say ‘hooked’. Looking forward to seeing them next year. It’s getting close to Tarpon season and I think it will be a good year. Schedule and book your trip now so you won’t be scrambling for a guide during the season. Remember, take a kid fishing and share the joy that we all experience. It is one the best ways to spend time together.

Well, a new year has started with a cold spell and the fish aren’t liking it much. We have had some windy, bitter cold days, which make for some hard fishing, but we still were out there trying.
Earlier this week we spotted and hooked some Grouper and Trout, not many but they still made the trip worthwhile. Later in the week it started to warm up slightly and the Reds started to turn on. The Mackerel are still feeding and make for a good eating fish as well. Then this past Friday and Saturday the weather warmed up to a decent temperature and the Redfish and Grouper were in abundance. Actually, my client came up just one pound short of making a world record with a nice Grouper.
The Weather reports say it should be a more favorable week next week, so if you are interested in booking a charter either visit my web site (you can e-mail me from there) at www.WestCoastFishingCharters.com or call me at (888)476-6656 / (941) 283-9340.

Hey folks, another week has passed us by and the fishing has been a little rough due to the weather. However, we are still able to put a few nice fish in the boat. Including some nice size Red Fish up to 9 pounds and some small Snook. The scout for the Minnesota Twins was with me this week and hooked a rather large Snook, for this time of year; it was about 20 pounds and will make a nice conversation piece at the training camp. We have also been catching some really nice Black Drums, up to 15 pounds which are ready for a great fight. The Mackerel are still here and ready for a great challenge on light line. Let’s not forget about the inshore Grouper, some very nice ones have been caught within the last few weeks. Remember, we are now booking for Tarpon season, so don’t a chance to hook one of these awesome fighting fish. Call and charter soon at (888) 476-6656 or e-mail me at FishingCaptain@yahoo.com.

The Mackerel are in large schools feeding off shore. During a very successful charter my clients caught and released over 90 fish within a 4 hour charter.
During another charter earlier this week several Snook and Red Fish were caught in the shallow back bays with a few Mackerel, and some nice Gator Trout have been caught up to 30 inches in length.
Today’s charter we caught and released the Red Fish and Snook until my clients couldn’t move their arms anymore. An excellent week in all. So remember, boat safe and take a kid fishing. If you would like to book a charter please visit my web site at: www.westcoastfishingcharters.com take a look around and fill out our questionnaire or e-mail me at FishingCaptain@yahoo.com

We have had another great week with the fishing since our first cold front the fish have been feeding well. The Red Fish have really been on the bite, with fish caught up to 35 inches in length. I’m happy to say all were released alive and well. The Trout are starting to really get into full swing, so if this is your favorite type of fish - book now and lets catch a few. The Snook are starting to slow down a little, but we are still catching a few. I’m happy to say that the Mackerel are moving in and boy do they fight. These fish are real tasty, so bring your cooler and take a few home. Well that’s this weeks report, give us a call and lets stretch some line 1-888-476-6656 or check out our web site at www.westcoastfishingcharters.com and fill out or questionnaire.
