Matlacha (3:00 - 8:30)

Hot, sunny, a little breezy, but a excellent day as of late. Red Tide is working its way back in but hasn't hit Matlacha yet. Score talley was 2 jacks, 2 sailcats, 1 catfish, 1 toadfish and one skate. Definately an improvement over the last couple of weeks!!

Failed to post yesterdays report from a couple of other locations but talley for yesterday; 1 small snook, 1 toadfish, 1 minnow snagged, and 1 fat beautiful pompano. Used the minnow to catch the pompano. The pompano didn't want to come in and I was having a blast listening to the drag scream! Had a little of the drag scream action happen today...thats what keeps you going back out!!!!

Todays funny; a family of vacationers trying to look like they were "locals"..caught a snapper...dad "joe cool" reaches into the snappers mouth to get the hook!! You should have heard him scream!! Then he started screaming for his wife to grab the lower jaw and "get it off of me!". I'm down the pier dying!! Its hard to look cool with a fish stuck to your thumb!

Tight lines,

Jighead

Jighead,

Thanks for the SW FLA report. Good to see you haven't been completely wiped out by them nasty red tides

I'm headed out boating in the morning and either Capt. Dave or I will post on TF, accordingly. Targeting Grey trout, Stripers, Flounder, Blues, and everything else plus the swimming sink

FLA tourista w/a snapper is right up there with our freshwater types that lip a bluefish like a bass ugly ! But neither do it again w/o knowing the consequence.

Clear waters, live fish, and a screamin' drag
