Out with Sal a new implant to Naples by way of Long Island. He had never caught a snook or tarpon and was very excited when I told him the bite was HOT! First order of the trip was to catch the rite bait....PILCHARDS. No bait - No fish. We were blessed with 400 beautiful Pilchards in two throws 7 bumpy miles offshore. It was a relief to catch the bait quickly and get back inshore.

 

Now to the good stuff. We fished only two of my hot spots. We had Tarpon all around the boat. We jumped 5 and boated two. We caught several snook 25 to 30 inches and 1 hog well over 40"! We filled in the blanks with 5 big trout over 25 inches and not only did Sal catch his first Snook and Tarpon he slammed!

Bio: A typical day out on the water, is never so typical. We start out with a leisurely ride through the backcountry in Mangrove lined channels. I almost always see MANATEE, usually see big ALLIGATORS and don\'t be surprised to see a BALD EAGLE or two! The water is golden brown, typically too dark to see through until we start stalking fish in the shallows. Almost immediately, bait will be jumping, tarpon will be rolling and gulping air and snook will be \"Popping\" the surface catching bait. I call my fishing experience unique. I do however understand the urge for fresh fish, and if you want it fresh, I\'ll get it for you! I have found a reliable, fun and action packed way to catch some of the most sought after game fish and I am anxious to share it with you. In as little as 4 hours we can catch Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout, Snapper, Shark, Jack, Grouper, Sheepshead and more!
