Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
120107
I am with Mitch from Biscayne Rods today, the finest rods on the market! I promised him a bunch of fish, I also told him we would fish an area that I fish all to myself. It didn't take long when we saw a couple Snook busting up baits, but we got no bites. We moved around a little and finally got into the Redfish, we ended up with about 10 or so. The Snook weren't far behind, even though this wasn't the bite I expected. We ended up with 6 Snook but the tides were not in our favor, that's why the bite was slow. We hit a few more spot and called it a day.

I am fishing with Mitch again today but with a spin; he is taking me out on his boat. He says I need a break from work and he would like to pole me around! The morning started out watching a monster Snook racing across the flat busting a mullet school. As we were watching that a big Tarpon rolled in front of me. I placed my Twitch n Rap in front of his path, twitched it and let it sit right in front of the 80 pound fish. The next thing Mitch hear's is my drag screaming and 80 lbs of jumping Tarpon. The Tarpon jumped twice and then threw the lure. We watched the Snook go back to work but they turned off after a while, we did manage to put a Jack and a Trout in the boat while casting at rolling Tarpon.
Today's tides were really low, maybe lowest of the year so we really had to be careful not to get stuck. Once the tide fell out we started hitting potholes and channels edges where we found Snook ,Mitch continued to pole and I caught Snook after Snook. I took him to one spot and told him there will be a Redfish right there and there was, he was impressed! The wind was gusting between 20 and 30 making it tough we called it a day at PM.
The fishing is good and the temeratures are compfortable making for a great day on the water.
Let me be Santa for you or a family member.
Let'd go Catch'em,
Capt Jimbo
