Guide in Fort Myers FL?

[J-Doc]

I don't know of a bass guide but there are some.  

 

That's why I like striper fishing.  Half of a tarpon fight and available on my home lake.  Won't wear me out like a tarpon but a heck of a fight!  ;-)  Tackle two tarpon in a day and your done.  Lol!  Its an amazing feeling in your hands to have 80-100lb braid ripping out like you just set the hook on a garbage truck. ;-)

I am booked with captain Steve Waugh tomorrow and Friday I'll report the results.  

Lunch today ar key lime bistro on captiva a block from the mucky duck.  I don't like giving bad reports but the mucky duck is just okay.  I've eaten there at least a dozen times. 

Blackened grouper sandwich.

1) You have no idea how jealous of that sandwhich I am......you suck! LOL!

2) Good luck tomorrow!!

3) I'm very jealous.  I would LOVE to be on Captiva right now.  (you have no idea........work is killing me slowly)

4) Did I mention I was jealous??  Because I AM!

5) Bring some of that warm salty air back to the Ozarks if you can please.

Oh and try lunch at the Bubble Room.  It's across the street from the little street you drive up to get to the Mucky Duck.

We've been going to Captiva for years and drove right by it many times and did not try it until recently.  We stopped going to Mucky Duck after that.  It's a neat place and the food is good.  The deserts............that is enough reason to go there alone!!!

We met Steve at 8:30.  4 girls and myself. Steve was great, very patient and let the girls hook up the bait and cast it.  Knowing they would flip it in the mangroves.  Just a great friendly person.  We caught 2 catfish, 2 snook, 1 mangrove snapper and a jack.  

The jack was a good fight for my little wife, she couldn't believe how small it was when she finally got it in.  We had many snook on for a while with several jumping out of the water and throwing the bait.  

Oh!  The girls caught two birds because they couldn't yank the bait out quick enough.  We all just had a great time.   Overall an A plus trip considering 5 people in a flats boat. 

Headed out with just myself and my 17 year old daughter tomorrow.
