Friday I had Eric & Neysa Osthoff from Wisconsin join me on their first saltwater fishing trip. Both Eric & Neysa are experienced at fly fishing in small creeks and lakes out west but had to adapt to the ways we fish here in FL. After a few quick lessons, we were on our first flat where redfish were tailing and happily moving around….that was where Eric caught his first Redfish ever! The fish put up a strong fight for Eric then finally gave up and came boatside. Next up was Neysa, she had plenty of nice shots at Redfish and trout but she was having difficulties getting the fly moving just right. Both took turns at casting to Redfish and Trout but the only other fish landed was a Ladyfish which was a new species to them on the fly. Eric and Neysa were enjoying the Mosquito Lagoon wildlife just as much as the great fishery that we have here in FL. and they will be back to take it all in again!
Saturday, me, my brother, friend Danny, little Antonio, and Romeo the pup made a trip out of Port Canaveral on the 22′ Pathfinder TE. We fished around baitpods and also cruised around for free swimming cobia. The fishing was excellent this day, conditions were picture perfect, a couple Tarpon up to 125lb were jumped, we brought a big blacktip shark boatside, 3 nice Kingfish came on the boat, and 6 cobia were hooked but 4 were landed. The Tarpon and Cobia fishing is really good right now and will remain like this for a little while longer if the weather conditions stay the same as they have been the last couple days.
