Fishing Videos, Pics and Stories

The other funny thing was when we were going out we were in a brand new 38 ft Everglades with triple 350 Yamaha's. Capt. Avery was driving from the flying bridge cruising 40 mph between openings in coral reefs. Charley the boat owner was on the deck freaking out. My son and I climbed up to the bridge to talk to Capt. Avery and he was up there drinking a beer and smoking a joint. My son looked at me and said "Don't tell Charley" LOL

Life in the Bahamas is a little different.

Rosie is a him? But call me jealous. I want to catch a mahi big enough grill. And want him filleted and grilled hours after I catch him (or her).
Wait maybe it is Rosie Grier part of the fearsome foursome from LA

He looks about like Rosie Grier. Probably 6'4 350 lbs black as night. Rosie is the boss of the island. Nothing happens on Grand Cay or Walker's Cay without Rosie's approval. We were held up a couple of hours by the customs man at Walkers Cay, Rosie told Charley next time just come straight to his place and he would just call customs and clear us. It's nice to have contacts in these places.

Yes, our charter cap burned as well. It’s island life for sure over there.

Yes it was. Rosie treated us like royalty, When we got there Charley (the boat owner) called for Rosie to come down to the dock and asked him who was the best Captain on the Island. Rosie answered "That would be my brother-in-law Capt. Avery Meyer". Charley asked "Is he available for a couple of days?" When Rosie answered "For you Mr Charley of course" I knew we would be treated like kings.

Captain Meyer with the Tuna, my son with the Mahi.

Not sure if it will play but there is a video of the landing of that bull dolphin and yellowfin tuna.

Stay thirsty my friend! ;).
Did you catch any? I pulled the boat out yesterday, been sitting for about 2 months. Going to head offshore at daylight if the wind/wave forecast holds out. All I want for Christmas is a box full of grouper!

Boy how I miss those days..Many years ago(20-25) we used to club big sow belly Gags off Canaveral this time of the year but some years back with all the closures and restrictions I kinda wrote the whole thing off.....Oh and the 40-50# Cobia that would club your Pinfish on the way up or down from a baitdrop or check always kept things interesting too....ah, the good old days.

Not a single bite, but I had a great time relaxing by the water. Had the whole pier to myself and a cooler full of beer what more could I ask for besides a bite. Plan on doing a lot of fishing next weekend wife is going out of town for New Years.

That’s why they call it fishing instead of catching, sounds like you checked all the boxes. A bite is just bonus. Good luck next weekend.

I fish the west coast but know there’s some pigs over there. The cool water should have em in. Hoping to run 20 miles out of Tampa in the AM for some hook-n-line gags and whatever else might be chewing. No spearing in these temps. Gags close 31st here so this is my last chance until June 2019.

Did not get a pic when we caught them, but here is a couple of beer battered redfish from today.

Where were you fishing out of Pirate? I got a Snook in the mouth of the Steinhatchee river a couple weeks ago which is a little strange this time of year since they are a warm water fish, wondering if the red tide has them run up here.

Merry Christmas.

Fishing just north of Keaton. A few people I know have caught snook this time of year in the rivers around here this time of year.

Congrats on the trout. Here's hoping they were gators.

Bass fishing season is officially open again at my spot. Went out Sunday for the first time this season and caught 31 bass. The biggest was only 3 pounds, but it was fun.

Heading back out again Sunday. I really want to break the 7-pound mark for the first time. This is the year!
