Chipper and Dan

I collected about two dozen crabs the night before. We picked up a two dozen live Shrimp from Whitey’s on the way down. We made it the ramp at 8 a.m. and headed straight to our fishing spot. What a day ! When we got there Chipper hooked right up and landed a monster Snook. I couldn’t believe it, I have seen the schools of Snook but I have never seen them eat like that. Well not at that spot.

I was next to get a bait own and just like that I had a monster Snook on. I caught 3 monsters all together. It took Dan a bit to hook a Snook. His first fish was a Jack. His second was a monster Snook though. Dan also got the only Permit of the day. We ended with a pretty good day. Tons of action!

Amy, Lucretia, Tom, and Chris

Its is Mother’s day. Happy Mothers day, Moms. Amy’s 2nd trip with me. Well the weather is nice, a little windy. It was foggy and light west wind in the morning. The wind picked up through the morning to a NW 20 plus. We left from Capt. Hiram’s and went straight to the ocean. The tide was moving out in the Inlet. There was some threadfins near the beaches. After catching enough bait we slow trolled.

Tom hooked and landed the first kingfish followed by the second as well. The bite was on, a lot of bait and Kings. We trolled around for awhile and everyone got to catch a nice King. Lucretia did a great job at fighting her first saltwater fish ever. Chris is 11 yrs. old and got to pull in a few as well. Tom caught a solid Bonita. Amy ended with the biggest of the day. Great job! That was a nice king approx. 25lbs. We caught all our fish on Shimano 4500 Baitrunners with 20lb. test. What a great day! Full of action. The kings are close to the beach and you cant beat it. Thanks Amy, Lucretia, Tom, and Chris. It was a pleasure to fish with you. Hope you guys enjoy the pics and the fish.

Bob, Mo, and Karl

This trip was the 2nd Night for Bob and Mo. Karl is a friend of Bob and This was his first trip aboard the Attitude Adjustment. The tide was incoming in the inlet for an hour after dark. The bait was not plentiful. Winds SE 15. We managed to catch about three dozen. We made our way to the inlet around 7 p.m. I figured the bite was to happen early and at the slower tide.

We started to fish and Karl would be the first to feel the power of a nice over sized Redfish. Karl ended up having the hot hands. He caught two big Reds and a nice keeper Snook. Bob had a keeper Snook with a Redfish or two and a small Goliath on a wind cheater. The bite was hot right before and just a bit after dark. Great trip, thanks Bob, Mo and Karl it was great to hook you up!

Marty, Josh, and Harvey

Marty, Josh, and Harvey were wanting to search for the Cobia. The weather was perfect conditions. We had all the right baits. The pogies are thick just along the beach south of the port. Well lets just say we missed one small triple tail and saw nothing else the entire day. I heard of three cobia caught all day and that was near the 2nd set of bouys. I fished near them and searched around them as well and no luck. Well they say that is fishing! I like catching better.

Thom and Mike

Thom and his brother Mike. We met up at Hiram’s around 4 p.m. No problems getting bait. The tide was incoming all evening. When it got dark we made our way to the inlet. Thom was first to hook up with a biggie Red. Thom is starting to get this whole inlet fishing down, making it look easy he caught the first couple of fish(Reds). Mike soon joined in and got his first big Red. There were some keeper size Reds in the mix as well. Thom and Mike each caught a slot size Red. The Red were really thick, it is hard to get a bait through the Reds without getting hooked up. The Snook are there.

It was beginning to rain and Thom was just saying if it started to rain any harder that we should head for cover. Just like clock work his Bait gets SLAMMED! FISH ON, Thom yells! I asked him if it were the bottom and He said,  no way its a BIG FISH! The Rain started to come down harder.  This fish was screaming drag, I had to go after it. That first run was a long one. It had to be a big Goliath. Thom was putting the heat on this fish with 20lb. test line and 40lb. leader. Thom did a great job at getting this beast to the boat. After Mike almost threw me in I finally got a hold of this Goliath. It bottomed out my 50lb. scale. That was awesome, a great fish. Check out the mac-daddy Pictures. We ended with 1 keeper Snook, 2 keeper Reds, and lots of releases.
