Dolphin Offshore and Tarpon Inshore

[KnotNancy]

[font "Arial"][size 2]Before to much time passes by and the information is not as useful, let me give everyone a quick report.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Sunday, January 12th, catching bait at Government required some searching. We found no pilchards, but did find numerous schools of herring. We put our first baits in the water at 1:00 pm. There had been a good kingfish bite straight out from Government during the morning hours. We worked the 90-200 foot depths with no results. Moving offshore a bit, a large weedline in 275 feet gave us some dolphin action. The fish were in the 4-5 pound class and we kept 5 and released several.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Tuesday evening, January 14th. Time to get nocturnal and catch some tarpon. During the incoming tide, we caught 1 fish at the Inlet. Moving down the beach, we went 1 for 2. Back to the Inlet with an outgoing tide, we caught 1 of the 2 fish we hooked. Live shrimp fished on 8, 12, and 20 pound outfits gave us all out action. Total for the evening was 3 for 5 and ended a 13 for 13 streak.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Wednesday, evening, January 15th. A strong north wind had us sailing through our drifts. Around 7:00 pm, it switched to the NW and the drift became perfect. The action started with a tarpon and ended with a ladyfish. In between, we got at least one bite on every drift. The tarpon got some revenge this evening in the form of throwing the hook despite making a decent first run. That's how tarpon fishing goes sometimes and what makes it such a challenge. Our totals for this evening were 3 ladyfish and 3 for 7 tarpon.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Give me a call and schedule a trip so you can experience for yourself the challenge of catching a high flying, hard fighting tarpon.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Captain Dave Kostyo[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Knot Nancy Fishing Charters[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 620-5896 Charter[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 732-2628 Beeper[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][#800080][size 2][url "http://www.knotnancy.com"]www.knotnancy.com[/url][/size][/#800080][/font] [font "Arial"][#0000ff][size 2][url "mailto:nkostyo@bellsouth.net"]nkostyo@bellsouth.net[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font]
