Spring Fling Fishing
2007-03-19 15:23:00 Saturday was the long awaited ‘Spring Fling’ fishing trip- and we couldn’t have picked a worse day! We left Punta Gorda Isles Friday afternoon through rain and a healthy chop on Charlotte Harbor. After an entertaining Friday Night at the Boca Grand Resort, we awoke to howling north winds.

A Cold, Rainy, Windy, Nasty?.
2007-03-05 22:27:00 ….Saturday of fishing. Not much to show for an hour on the Merry Pier. Saw a guy catch a not-quite-legal redfish, and there were a few smaller snook swimming over the grass flats. From the rumor department, I heard about a 40″ snook landed ahead of the front, as well as several legal reds, and ... More About: Wind , Cold , Rain , Windy , Indy
Is it Spring Yet?
2007-02-25 00:01:00 So, I have the need to fish. Headed down to Pass-A-Grille, figuring I’d take the half day trip on Miss Pass-A-Grille. It was breezy and chilly, despite the forecast. Both the Captain and the Mate warn me that it’s been really slow since the cold snap last weekend, but I fuigure.. why not? On the first ... More About: Spring , Ring
It?s WAY Too Cold for Fishing!
2007-02-17 20:43:00 …but I went anyway. No sign of snook. No sign of sheepshead. No sign of redfish. The final tally- a dozen shrimp produce a few (smallish) whiting. Probably could have gotten a bucketful, but… it was WAY too cold for fishing! More About: Fishing , Fish , Cold , Shin
Variety- of the Trashy Kind
2007-02-12 15:15:00 Saturday at Merry Pier was a wee bit frustrating- to say the least. With gin clear water, you could see snook stacked up under the dock like cordwood. They just weren’t chewing- at all. Nada. Plenty of sheepshead around, and the same story. So, Sunday I headed to Joe’s dock on the Pass-A-Grille Channel side of ... More About: Vari , Variety , Trash
SuperBowl Weekend
2007-02-05 20:21:00 Well, I tried to get a snook for the big game… no luck, though. Saw ‘em- just couldn’t get ‘em to bite. I saw redfish too, with similiar results. Sheepshead were the only cooperative fish, and they weren’t all that enthusiastic. Think it’s time to try a few new spots- maybe hit the docks over ...

When?s Snook Season?
2007-01-28 16:50:00 Chores wrapped up, I headed down to the Merry Pier for a couple of hours late afternoon Saturday. I figured I’d burn through a dozen select shrimp, and be on my way. The dock was fairly crowded, but no fish were evident. One dock denizen tried my trick from last week- drop a lizard fish down ... More About: Season , When , Seas , Nook
Miss Pass-A-Grille Full Day Trip
2007-01-22 17:19:00 So, Tim and I arrived at the Merry Pier bright and early Saturday morning for the full day fishing trip aboard Miss Pass -A-Grill. Hint #1- make reservations. We didn’t, and almost didn’t make it on board. Anyway, the slow, lumbering boat cast off around 8:30, and headed west. Hint #2- Dress warm for a January trip. ... More About: Trip , Full , Grille
An Interesting Weekend
More articles from this author:2007-01-14 22:06:00 Staurday, spent a couple of hours at the Merry Pier. The usual assortment of trash fish- but, there was a school of snook in the vicinity. Out of curiosity, I hooked a lizardfish in deeper water, and reeled it up to the dock. There, I let it swim around near the pilings, about 3 feet ...
