Good communication with Captain Mike, was looking at tides and full moon and how it might effect our trip. E-mailed back and forth a few times. Mike was knowledgeable about the fish I wanted to catch, Speckled Trout or Weak fish. We started right out on time and had some decent action with Mangrove Snapper and a couple of Speckled Trout. Then like a switch the bites stopped even while we watched a lot of hits on the locator. Hung with it for a bit but decided to try some Pompano near a break wall that Hurricane Ivan had done some moving around. Those fish are hard hitters and great fun on the light tackle he provides. Everything was in super condition and a blast when they zig zag back and forth. We caught our limit of 3 each for my girlfriend and me in about 45 minutes. Plenty of fun for me and it was my girlfriends 1st time fishing and Mike was patience teaching her how to catch and reel in the fish. She actually caught the 1st fish in each of the locations we went to. On the way back to the marina we stopped by a huge overpass and tried our luck for some Red Snapper but our time was running out and so was our energy. Mike cleaned up our catch and we took a few filets and gave Mike the rest. Good equipment, good sightseeing with Dolphins and wildlife, entertaining/knowledgeable Captain and of course we caught fishโฆ.
