Febuary 2007

Greetings Everyone,
Hope you all up north can still feel your brains.
Come to your senses and get down here before you turn into a frozen block! I just want you to get here and get fish'in so you can warm those ol' bones and crack some smiles too.
It may not be as warm as you would like, but it's not 5 degrees.
This past week has been very windy with cold fronts moving though. I havent made much of anything lately but I did manage to cut my foot with an axe this week. See , this is what happens to a fishing guide who's tryin to keep busy round the off season. Honey do's leading to honey can you come home and bring me to the doctors.('__>)
I suspect though the fish are still gathering up offshore on the ledges. It's been a couple of weeks since I've been to my deep offshore spots and I'll bet they are just filling with mangrove snappers ,groupers and other assorted rod benders.
The kingmackerel are still out there in the 80 foot zone for your 8 hour trips . They provide excellent action on the light tackle I provide you. This picture is a good example of an 8 hour day we fished kings and then decided to go bottom fishing for some groupers.
Lately, the water temps have been hanging around 68-71degree zone.Sooooooo any good weather stretch between now and march will mean a sooner beach session for the sight fishing of cobia.

If you have never done this you are in for a treat.
I use my smaller 25foot boat "catch the spirit" for this type of fishing.
The trip starts out driving down the local beaches in search of the fish and ends up with you seeing the pods of fish and casting at them for a hook up.
This is one of my favorite fish to catch. The only way for me to describe the day is ,..this type of fishing is the reason why I'm a guide.
Come see for yourself , better yet , call me I will be happy to share the details and costs for the trip. This is for all of march and april.
Then we have the close in kingmackerel and tuna run///// most of you who fish with me already know. Febuary .........it's a great month to dream about march and april.
Be good to each other and take care,
capt . Tommy Tinacci
