Today’s Fishing Trip Suprise

admin — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 03:50:59 +0000

Went out today with my good friend Greg for a little seatrout action that has been so good this last week. Well I did not disappoint my friend by putting him on some serious fish. We caught 2 fish over 22″ and had a very nice suprise while fishing topwater plugs. See picture below…
A 38″ Snook busted my lure and at first I thought it was a big Trout but once it started to rip line from my reel I knew it was something else.

Fishing Picked up This Afternoon

I went back out this afternoon and what a difference from this morning or yesterday. Fish were chasing and blasting lures almost as soon as they hit the water. I had 10 fish in the first 20 minutes or so and they kept getting bigger as I went. This was a far cry from earlier today where I fished for hours for a couple of fish.

I fished the incoming tide this morning and had no luck. This afternoon I waited until the tide started to come back in about 6:00 PM so there would be enough water on the flat I wanted to fish. The later day seemed to make a big difference. I may wait tomorrow and go out in the afternoon once the tide switches to incoming, although that will be a little later in the evening, and see what happens.

Tight Lines…

Bountyfishing.com Winning Month

I just got another check from Bountyfishing.com the other day. Although I didn’t win any of the March events I finished in the top 5 in many and collected my largest check to date.

Check out me on the dock with a couple of winning checks.

Payoff

I joined Bountyfishing about a year and a half ago. They are a web-based tournament, open to most of North America, and they were just starting the saltwater fishing tournaments with Sea Trout and Redfish. I have fished trout for most of my career so I have the trout figured out although they run smaller on this coast of Florida. My personal best is from the east coast of Florida a little over 30″ long. This side has produced a 23 incher so far.

I have never fished a tourney that is so easy to fish. You sign-up, select the tourney, pay with paypal or credit card, get your bounty code and go fishing. This code is used during the tournament to uniquely identify the competitor in the photos. You catch an eligable fish, take a picture with the fish and a ruler, a picture of you and the fish, and submit it once back at the dock.

It has added so much more excitment to my fishing. I will now go out in 30+mph winds or heavy rain to try to add to my fish’s length.

This year I vowed to learn the redfish game as best as I can. I will be looking at tips, tricks, and anything else I can find over the next 6 months or so to perfect my technique.
