Bob O’Hara and grandson, Kevin, who had fished offshore with me on Friday, 7/12, fished again with me on Monday, 7/15. We headed offshore again, twenty miles from New Pass and had a fun fishing adventure, as well as bringing home some nice fish. The guys battled and brought to the surface a 30-pound bar...

Monday, 11/5, I fished about 22 miles west of New Pass with Mark Cavanaugh and friends. The four guys used live shrimp to land five gag grouper, three of which would have been keeper-size, to 23 inches, except for the fact that season closed for those five days ago. So we released all of those, along with...

Boca Grande, fl. 17 March 2010 Fishing this week has been below average so far. I trust it will pick up now that the weather is warming.

Boca Grande, Fl. 24 Jan. 2010 Rumors to the recent demise of fishing in Florida are highly over stated. How's that for stealing a phrase? But, it is the truth.

Cold Weather KillReport Date: January 23, 2010 Well it was a bad front that killed thousands of snook and tarpon here in Everglades National Park ( Chokoloskee).

Sanibel Island Fishing Well the cold fronts are moving in. Snook and Trout are out of season, but still a blast to catch. Just as I said in earlier reports.
