Got out a couple times last week with Frank helping me out bigtime on a Friday charter trip.

We caught an early tide on Wednesday and slowed trolled around Black Point & Hatchetts Reef. We had a decent bite on the tubes and managed a few medium size keeper fish in 18-30ft of water.




On Friday I took my first 2010 clients out since having the by-pass in May and good ol Frank was nice enough to mate for the day and haul some fish over the gunnels for me. Not too many people would give up a morning of fishing so they could play netboy but Frank was all over it.

Anyway we had a bit of a tough tube bite so I switched over to some live scup and found a nice pile of fish deep. Everybody went home happy and who knows I might even get in enough charters this season to actual cover my costs....

Yikes, what a bust this year.

Here's some stuff to look at...

Nice work, Pat.

Let me tell ya, Frank's a damned good person. Huge kudos to him for helping out!

Guys, if you or a friend/family member are looking for a fun, light-tackle adventure, I'd highly recommend going out with Pat. He WILL find the fish and without a doubt, you will have a great time doing it. I got off his boat last year with stomach cramps from laughing so much.

p.s. Not to mention that he specializes in a technique (T&W) that many of us use often. What's better than catching some nice fish and at the same time learning how to use the tube on the yak.

Looks like a great time..!! Glad to see you are doing.well and back on the water giving the fish hell...
