[font "Arial"][size 2][font "Arial"][size 2]Between today and yesterday, I've had the opportunity to fish both coasts of Florida. Yesterday (10/7) on the Miami side, we spent 3 hours testing some new reels. In 130' a 13# dolphin taxed the drag system on one reel, a kingfish put up a good fight in 160', missed several other hook ups, and finally we wound up an amberjack from 375'. Our baits were live herring and bluerunners. The action has been consistent and it is well worth giving it a try.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Today (10/8), it was wade fishing at its best in Marco. The action was fast and furious all morning long and only stopped when a porpoise moved into the area. The 1/4 ounce jigs in pink/white and chartreuse/white worked on 4# spinning outfits gave us almost all the action. Maurice and Nick were not only leg weary, but arm weary too, by days end. Totals for the day were 40 jack crevalle in the 3/4 - 8# class, 20 ladyfish, a seatrout, snook, and redfish. It's a great place to learn how to catch fish on spin and plug tackle as there is plenty of action. The seasons a short one (till the end of October), so give me a call and book a trip before it's to late.[cool][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Captain Dave Kostyo[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Knot Nancy Fishing Charters[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 620-5896 Charter[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 732-2628 Beeper[/size][/font] [url "http://www.knotnancy.com"][#800080]www.knotnancy.com[/#800080][/url] [url "mailto:nkostyo@bellsouth.net"][#0000ff]nkostyo@bellsouth.net[/#0000ff][/url][/size][/font]
