Awful cold this morning. At least that
is what I thought when I arrived at Uncle Henry's. The weather
always has a lot to do with fishing and today was no exception.
The cool, windy conditions indicated a high pressure area over us and
this was to slow the fishing in the morning. Fortunately, the
afternoon warmed considerably and the fishing picked up.
Snook and Seatrout that were inactive in the
am, began to feed a little in the afternoon. The wind came up from
the northwest and we moved to the canals along Gasparilla Island for
grouper, snapper and snook. We couldn't get a grouper large enough
to keep, but several snapper to 18 inches were taken along with a
variety of sheepshead, jacks and pompano.
For a day that did not look promising, we
managed forty or fifty fish of all varieties. Seemed better in
hind sight than it felt during the trip.
Thursdays super windy conditions did not
discourage Doug and Sandy Barton of Sarasota from throwing the fly
around the harbor. Again the day started slow and got better as
the day went on. Sandy seemed to have the magic hand and took
several trout, ladyfish and jacks in the Whidden Creek area. A new
Sage XP six weight rod handled the wind beautifully in Doug's hand and
made catching the smaller fish a lot of fun.
We need a bit of warm weather with a lot
less wind for the fishing to get really good on the flats. Baring
a continuation of this unusual weather, the fishing will improve in
about two or three days. If you are starting your Thanksgiving
vacation early try fishing the afternoons on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tight Lines, Capt. Pete
