August 10th 2006 Kara repeats on 2nd fishing adventure!
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!
God Bless
Capt Wes
