Sunset Snookin August 25, 2009. Dave, Captain Chad and I left Naples boat ramp for a sunset fishing expipition on Tuesday the 25th. We found some pinfish and sugar trout at the head pin out of Gordons Pass snd headed offshore to try our luck. The weather was rainy and there was only two other boats in sight. The action started off hot with Chad catching a huge female snook close to 40in and barely getting it away from a very big bariccuda. After reviving her to we released her.
Everglades National Park. Bill Faulkner a captain who fishes out of the park on a regular basis was gratious enough to take Mark butler and myself out on Saturday the 22nd. The sweet water was more productive than the outer points because of the tide differance. The back waters were really high and the small tarpon and snook were there but not overly agressive on the bite. Outside was a completely different story with a westerly wind at ten knots that kept the water stirred and extremely low.
Black drum were the most prevelant fish around the outer islands, but were reluctant to strike without some shrimp. Bill is an artifical fisherman only, which makes it more of a challenge and really tests your skills. It was a beautiful morning and a great feeling running through Chatham river to the Gulf of Mexico and seeing all the birds and alligators which are only some of the critters lurking out in the middle of nowhere.
