Capt Wes’ Fishing Archives: Jan 06 - July 07

Another great dove shoot. A couple of limits for a couple of old country boy’s!

While dropping off my brother we noticed the hole to the heavens. I just had to take the shot.

Went down to see the FLW on the second day. Wow, some really nice boats!

Here is Blair Wiggens talking with some of the anglers on how big his fish are which put him into Saturday’s championship round.

This is Seth Currie the son of one of my very best friends, Glenn Currie. Seth was on Scott Guthery’s boat. Scott needed another angler on boat to allow him the possibility to return with two redfish. Scott’s team mate Rick Murphy was not able to make the trip. Capt Rick has the Chevy Fishing Report which airs on Thursday.

Eric and Sonny, two local boys who were in 12th after the first day.

Now this is a row of boats.

This is how the weigh in the fish.

Here is Seth and Scott waiting for their turn to weigh.

Scott and Seth had one fish to weigh and scored a total of 12 lbs for two days of fishing.

What a sunrise!

What a Dad and son moment!

Grant is all bowed up with his first fish of the morning.

A real nice bluefish.

Grant is on again…

…and lands this nice spanish for the supper table.

Well, dad shakes the skunk off with this ladyfish.

Grant comes right back with a ladyfish of his own!

Plenty of fish and a great ending to another great fishing adventure!

As the sun was rising Eddie was in deep thought about all the fish his two sons…

…Mathew and Paul would catch.

It did not take long after we set out a couple of bucktail jigs in a varity of colors for Mathew to get bowed up with one of his many fish caught that day.

Mathew with a nice bluefish.

Wait Mathew is on again…

…with his first Poor Man Tarpon (ladyfish).

Well, Paul is not going to be deniedas he fights…

…this spanish to the boat while enjoying one of his many blow pops!

Paul quickly boat yet another spanish.

The day would not be complete if we did not get dad in a picture with atleast one fish!

The day ended as it started, a dad and his two sons. The only difference was the 50 plus fish that was caught!

Until our next fishing adventure…tight lines!

The run to the pass was not to bad. We had a NNE wind and we hugged the north shore of BIG LAGOON. We started our trolling east of the pass. We were trolling any color bucktail jig we could fine.

Now this is Caitlin who I found out during the adventure is a high school wrestler. Caitlin has beaten just about everyone of her opponents. I sure would not want to be a young man in high school and to have lost a match to a girl, wow!

Caitlin can beat up on fish just like she does on boys. Here Caitlin is trying to pin this fish onto the boat.

She puts the fishes shoulders on the deck! A nice Poor Man Tarpon.

Liz is not a wrestler but she can sure kick some fish booty! She is all bowed up.

Liz with her Poor Man Tarpoon.

Lee is reeling in his lure as Liz is fighting a big fish. As you will see in the next picture Lee connects before the lure reaches the boat.

Lee and Liz with a double on bluefish.

Now Liz is my kind of fisherman. She did not care what the fish is or how big the fish was as long as it pull her string! Liz with a spanish.

To end a great fishing adventure we have the Jones with a few fish to eat.

I want to thank Greg for allowing me to take his family on a fishing adventure I hope they will never forget!

Until our next fishing adventure…tight lines!

I took a break from fishing to enjoy what I love most and that is a good old fashion dove shoot. The hunting party of 20 met at the barn around 2 pm. We placed our blinds out around 230 pm. The birds strted flying in around 330pm.

I estimated about 500 plus birds. After 45 minutes of shooting I had my 12 birds and expended 22 shotgun shells.

Now my good friend Adam Baker at an old age of 11 bagged his first wing shoot of his young hunting career. He ended the day with two!

Until our next hunting adventure…keep the powder dry!

We left the dock at 0545 hours. The wind was light from the North. The boys were ready for some awesome fishing.

We had not gotten the lines out when Steven is all bowed up with a huge ladyfish. Heck you just can see as the sun has not come over the horizan.

Steven with a nice 3lb ladyfish.

On our next pass Dillan his bowed up.

Twenty Five yards later and Dillan with a nice ladyfish too!

Then the sun rises.

Ladyfish after ladyfish we started to find a few spanish, bluefish and bluerunners. Here is Steven with a frying pan size spanish!

Well i do not believe the boys ever got tired of pulling these fish but dad and I were very tired and decided to try our luck on the grassbeds.

The fish have moved for the most part but Steven was able to land this nice speck to end the day.

It was a line pulling drag screaming rod bending fishing adventure with a couple of dolphins to boot!

Until our next fishing adventure….tight lines!

Mr Windstead wins the battle! A 22″ redfish just for the frying pan.
