| 5-7-08 Palm
Valley |
Went out at
4:30. the fishing was slow and the tide was not
moving very much. Had a few bites but no hookups
until the sun came up. Then I caught 6 Trout between
18" and 20" in a half an hour all on top water.
Then the sun started getting hot and I realized that
I had lost my Tilley Hat. So, I left early and went
back looking for it (they float) For some strange
reason and for the first time ever, I had put my
fishing license, Drivers license and a credit card
in its pocket. I did not find it so I rushed home to
cancel the credit card. There was a message on my
answering machine at home. Amazingly it was the FWC
and they had a phone number for me to call to go
rescue my hat. James had found my hat while doing
dock work. It was the second one he had found. Back
out to Palm Valley I go and I met James at the job
site. I gave him a reward and thanked him profusely.
As soon as this wind dies down, look for at least 3
reports a week. |

Beach Blvd. ICW |
Caught
a small, but legal slam in 75 minutes. the trout was 15.25
inches. I did not measure the others.
A few more flounder and trout showed up but when the tide
turned, the fishing turned off.
All fish were caught using DOA Cal, Silver Mullet soaked in
Gulp Juice on a 1/16 oz Missouri jig head. |

| 12/4/07 Sisters Creek - Must have caught 60, 14 7/8" trout and
nothing else. Trout were fun on a light rod. |
| 12/1/07 Beach Blvd. ICW - Fished a few hours and caught a few rats
and a slot Red, 3 Flounder of which the largest was only 18"
and about 10 small trout. |
| 11/21/07 Beach Blvd ICW - Just a few slot Reds and a few
Flounder |
| 11/20/07 Sisters Creek - It was a beautiful day with very little
wind. Caught 8 Reds to 20", Could have caught all the trout I wanted
but they were small. |
| 11/19/07 Beach Blvd ICW - Caught 6 Reds, 4 rats, 2 slots, and 3
flounder between 13" and 20" |
| 11/6/07 Sisters Creek - Went out for a few hours to test the new
sail I made. It still needs some tweaking! But I did catch a half
dozen Rat Reds and a few trout. |
| 10/26/07 Sisters Creek -
Caught 3 flounder up to 20"and a bunch of 15"ish trout and 1
large rat Red. The reds did not seem to be in their normal
locations. I caught this one when I saw shrimp being
attacked by what I thought was a flounder. I paddled over
and threw my Cal Tail in and got an immediate hit. |
