The weather has been relatively good so the fishing has held up well.  Catching redfish & black drum.  Lot’s of fun!

This is a photo of Charlie & Hank from a couple of years ago, as we headed out of Castaways Marina in the early morning.

I found it today and I really like it because they both have the same dopey, sleepy look on their faces … they kind of look alike!

It is always fun to go fishing for spanish mackerel with a family with children!

The spanish mackerel are thinning out but there are still some small schools of macs on the beaches and near the passes.

The Sheepshead have started to move in thanks to the cold fronts.  Sheepshead are a very good eating fish, but they are incredibly hard to hook.

They will stay around the waters of Sanibel & Captiva until it starts to warm back up in early March.

On today’s charter, I took out two of my regular customers, Floyd & Tom!

We went to Blind Pass where we got into some real fishing action!  We caught a little bit of everything … redfish, jacks, black drum, snook, sea trout, flounder, ladyfish, and there were even a few spanish mackerel in there!

After that, we went to the Buck Key oyster bar where we must have caught around 20 redfish within two hours!  I am also happy to say that we decided to release all of the redfish that we caught so we could catch them another day!
