four big fishing days with Charlie. \u00a0Charlie never tires of reading about himself or telling big fish stories!<\/p>\n<p>The first photo on the left is of a very a large snook Charlie caught and released at Redfish Pass when Charlie was much smaller and snook were much bigger. \u00a0It was quite an accomplishment for Charlie; the snook was just under 40&#8243;, although Charlie routinely inflates it to a world record size of 60&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p>The second photo of the small back tip shark is from a really fun day we had fishing for sharks. \u00a0We had a chum bag going which Charlie was fascinated by when he was younger. \u00a0Charlie is still big on any kind of chumming because it gives him something to do when he gets restless on the boat. \u00a0At any rate, we caught and released a big 7&#8242; bull shark that day, probably between 300 and 400 pounds, a photo of which I unfortunately can&#8217;t locate. \u00a0However, we almost had more fun with the black tip sharks that were circling the boat, attracted by the chum bag. \u00a0We were able to sight cast to them and we must have caught and released 8-10 within a 10-20 minute period.<\/p>\n<p>The third photo is of a small tarpon we caught and released not quite in Roosevelt Channel last August. \u00a0We were sight fishing for tarpon I had seen under an anchored sail boat between Jensen&#8217;s and Tween Waters, maybe only a couple of hundred yards from Captiva. \u00a0Charlie was quite proud of this small tarpon. \u00a0A big summer storm moved in about five minutes later and we were drenched, but he was happy!<\/p>\n<p>The last photo is of a 5&#8242; bull shark we caught and released last month. \u00a0Charlie is starting to get the hang of this fishing thing. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Captain Joey Burnsed ~ call 239-472-8658 or email captjoefred@gmail to book a charter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had another snorkeling charter booked this morning but the weather turned and the water was too rough for snorkeling.
