We had better weather last week than the previous with things drying
up a little and managing to get out fishing daily as well as a couple
evening trips. Fishing action held up with redfish and snook still
strong as well as juvenile tarpon and plenty of sharks bringing smiles
to my anglers.

Last weekend, I fished a local charity tournament benefiting the
University of Florida Construction School. This was my third time
fishing the TR Rushing Construction Co. team out of four years that the
tournament has existed. We have come in the top three every year and
added another second place finish this year. We released redfish to 26
inches along with snook to 27 inches to come in just four inches from
first place. It was a great, fun event with strong competition followed
by a wonderful party hosted by Hamilton Harbor Yacht club. We are
looking forward to next year already!
The rest of the week brought great catches of redfish, snook, sharks
and tarpon ranging in from 15 to 30 lb. class. Great fun on light
tackle. I have seen an increase in the juvenile tarpon during the last
week with the influence of fresh water run off flushing through the back
country. These events usually push plenty of fish out of the inland
creeks and concentrate them along the shorelines in the back bays. The
small tarpon take artificial lures and flies very well as well as live
baits.
