skimmer > 3/16/2005 Today was a windy day and not one for fishing in the Gulf. Wes, Craig and I fished Fiddler's Creek instead. Here is the craft that all three of us fished in for the afternoon. What's even more scary is that some of the alligators in the Creek are bigger than this boat. Visions of Captain Hook "Tick Tock".
skimmer > We jumped three tarpon between 20 and 40 pounds but couldn't get one to the boat. Here is Wes with a snook about 20 to 25 pounds. I love it because as he is holding the fish for the picture, it clamped down on his finger, consequently the funny face.
skimmer > Snook don't often jump but in the creek they go airborne all the time. Here is Wes's big snook going ballistic with airborne acrobatics. It was a great thrill and a great fight.
skimmer > Florida is filled with wildlife. Here is a bald eagle watching us fish in the Creek. There was a pair of them in the tree but one left before I could shoot the photo.
skimmer > We often troll the edges of the Creek with Rattle Traps and score with nice Largemouth Bass. Here is Craig with a good bass, one of three that we caught today. I don't know who looks better, the fish or Craig. Captain Al Lorenzetti
skimmer > 3/14/2005 Today was a good fishing day. The winds were calm and sun was warm. We saw many large tarpon and fished for them for a few hours. We jumped one fish between 80-100 poundsand that was it for tarpon. We saw one pod of permit but didn't get a shot at them as they moved and sounded very quickly. The best fishing of the day was for pompano. We caught about 15 real nice pompano on jigs tipped with shrimp. They are one of the best eating fish in all of Florida. Tonight is a barbecue at Wes's parents house and pompano is on the menu. This is a shot of the heron that frequents our dock. We feed him left-over bait and he is very tame.
skimmer > He struck a beautiful pose for us showing his plumage. Photos of pompano to come. Captain Al Lorenzetti
skimmer > 3/9-13/2005 I am down in Marco Island visiting Wes Little. The weather has been poor with winds out of the west and rain early in the week. West winds mean discolored water and tough fishing. Wes and his girlfriend AnnMarie and Craig Georgi and I fished pretty hard for the last few days. Here is Craig running to get a net for Wes's Redfish.
skimmer > We caught a number of small snook and one keeper. Here is a typical small backwater snook taken on live pilchard.
