TROUT

Pat caught this 22 inch trout with a jig tipped with a shrimp.

A RED FOR GUS

Gus and I went out to catch a few Redfish today.  Since he had a bad back I did not want to put him into some very heavy fish.  He caught this 8 pounder right away.  We released it hoping we would get a few more but that was it.

SAWFISH

RED FISH

I went backcountry alone this morning and caught a few Red Fish.  I released them all except one that swallowed my plug.
I saw a Saw Fish swimming along side my boat for about 100 yards then later on I saw what I thought was a Red Fish in the mud and threw a plug to it and started to reel in and it was another Saw Fish that I snagged.  Luckily it came loose and swam off.

Sheryl, her uncle and Craig went out to get some lobster yesterday and also did some spear fishing.

Pat and I did some Grouper fishing this morning and caught these two under size Gags.

Nice Catch

Bob caught these seven and eight pound Steelhead and three pound Brown Trout yesterday in the Little Manistee River.

Self Portrait

Captain Randall took this self portrait of himself and a seven pound Steelhead.  This looks like it should be hanging in a museum.

My cousins Ray and Judy and I did some backcountry fishing today.  We caught a lot of Jacks, Ladyfish and one Black Tip Shark.  We also caught this small Gag Grouper.

Captain Gus Ramirez and Captain Carlos had a good day yesterday aboard 'Wahoo VIII".  They caught nineteen Dolphin, some Kingfish and a ten pound Mutton Snapper.

SHARK

Danny Ritter from Miami fished with Captain Dave Perkins Saturday and caught his first Black Tip Shark.  It  gave him quite a fight even jumping a few times like Tarpon.
Captain Perkins is back in the Keys after doing a bit of fishing on Lake Michigan.  If you want to go back country or offshore Captain Perkins is the guide you want to fish with.

Blue Fish

On Wednesday Ray, Judy and I fished Pine Island Sound and caught a mixed bag.  Of course Judy is always the first to catch a trout.  I am holding a gulf of Mexico Bluefish that must have wandered in to the sound.
We were were doing good until it started to rain and we started to freeze.

Red

I went over to the west coast Tuesday and fished with my cousin Ray in his canal and caught this Redfish.
