Capt Wes’ Fishing Archives: Jan 06 - July 07

The day started out with a terrible storm in the gulf. This water spout would have been a tornado 3 on land! The picture doe not do this water spout justice.

Here sit’s Leo a 6 year old fighting a BIG fish on his first fishing adventure!

After several minutes of battle this ladyfish was no match for Leo the tornado!

Granddad got into the action with this small speck.

I hear Leo yelling out again ” I have a fish!”. Keep in mind the only help I have given Leo is casting out his bait.

WOW! Now this is a Gator trout! This speck is almost as big as Leo.

After that battle Leo need a raisin break.

Granddad with a bigger speck. He will have a seat at the dinner table.

Finnally Mike breaks through with a very healthy 22 inch speck.

Well, there is Leo again with his pole all bent over.

WOW! Another BIG GATOR to end the day! “Hey dad how about a picture with me”.

What can I say. Leo’s first fishing adventure was awesome! He caught all the fish on his own and they were trout any angler would have been proud to have caught. I would have to say that Leo the fish slaying machine is HOOKED!

The day was great and the weather turned out to be beautiful. Great fellowshipping with great anglers.

Plenty of fish.

Until our next fishing adventure….tight lines!

When you have a beautiful sunrise as this you know the fishing is going to be good.

Plenty of bait! My dad always said where you find the bait you find the fish.

Link was working the bait and recieved a nice explosion on the surface.

Link will be dinning forsure tonight!

Plenty of small male specks caught when Jerry tied into this nice fat female.

Linn fished hard and before the ned of our adventure Jerry handed her is fishin rod and she bagged her first fish of the day. Everybody is eating tonight!

The day was beautiful and the conversation was filled with laughter and at one time alittle debate. Of course Jerry won the debate he was my customer!

Jerry I will see you on the dove field!

Until our next fishing adventure….tight lines!

As Kara watches the sun rise from the east she thinks back to last year…

…when she caught this BIG GATOR trout while fishing with her father Matt and granddad Oliver. Would she catch a BIG GATOR on this 2nd fishing adventure with Capt Wes.

The wind was strong from the NW and I had to use our sea anchor to slow our drift. We had caught a few small specks when Kara yelled out with excitement “fish on!”.

Kara kept her rod up with a slight bend to keep pressure on her fish. The fish never surfaced like a speck would. We knew she did not have a ladyfish but was it a speck, redfish or maybe a bluefish?

She faught the fish to the boat when Capt Wes got a great look and knew she had a real nice speck on. The net was placed in the water and Kara coached the fish into the net. Once again Kara had her BIG GATOR!

We continued to fish and everybody was catching small specks when Kara yells out again “fish on!”. We knew very quickly this was a poor man’s tarpoon as the ladyfish jump three times trying to break loose from Kara’s hook.

Minutes later Kara and Matt her dad stand together holding her prize!

Certainly a proud father!

We caught a few more small specks and ended another great fishing adventure on the water.

Until our next fishing adventure….tight lines!
