SnookDoctor Charters Fishing Reports

Dave and Susie went with me yesterday in search of some snook filets for the grill. It was a very breezy day, with tropical storm Hanna moving up the east coast of Florida, but we found enough sheltered water to give us a chance at some fish.

Dave started the day with a gator trout that was just under the max slot size, and we put him in the well to save for dinner. After boating some nice snapper, and several under slot snook, Susie brought a 28″ snook to the boat, and he joined the trout as dinner guests.

We endured the wind, and Dave and Susie ended up with their filets. Not a bad day under the windy circumstances.

The winners of my donated trip from the October “07 Captain Mel’s Fall Slam tournament went out with me yesterday for a morning of fishing around downtown Tampa. Tim Banks and his sons drove over from central Florida, and we met at 8:00. They started out boating enough Mangrove Snapper for a family dinner that night, and then we moved on in search of some snook. The weather cut our trip a bit short, but not before they landed several snook, including this nice father/son double snook-up.
