The Ultimate Florida Fishing Package

   The Ultimate Fishing Package
The only thing that beats time spent on the water is more time spent on the water. First up a 44 hour full moon snapper trip; followed by 63 hours with New York, New Jersey's, REEL KINGZ fishing club. This is serious fishing for serious fishermen/women.
As always, the ladies are well represented. Fishing out of Oldsmar, Florida, Ms. Evelyn Wellhausen:

Representing Riverview, Florida, Mrs. Jamie Hill. Mr. Gary Yarbrough, Jamie's father, is so proud of Jamie. This is her first time at the helm:

This is what we came for:




Jamie, proud wife of a U.S. Marine, & mother of two young boys,  can do a lot more than drive the boat:


Night fishing 100 miles off Madeira Beach, Florida is the Ultimate Fishing Experience:






Morning!   Things are still looking good:







Oh No!   A major shark attack:

Mr. John Martin, the Florida's fishing coach, managed to get this beauty past the attacking sharks. John teaches by example:

Master fisherman Mr. Brendon Baldwin. Brendon, Sarah can be proud of her man:

Quality time on the water with friends is hard to beat:

Back at the dock:




In the money mangrove snapper 6.8 pounds; grouper 10.5

Up next 63 hours with the 'REEL KINGZ's' Fishing Club, the Ultimate Fishing Team:
Captain Mark Hubbard welcomes us:

Soon Madeira Beach will be just a distant memory:

Captain Garett Hubbard (L), and Captain Mark Hubbard represent decades of experience:

Captain Mark tells us how it's done:

We listened:



Sun-up brings fish and:





Let's go deep, really deep. That huge wreck is covered with fish:

Ever see a queen snapper? Not too many caught in Central Florida waters:


How about gray tile fish?

Mr. Roy Bess, NYC, REEL KINGZ leader, shows us how it's done:


Trolling on the way back home has been outstanding:



BIG Problem: The 'endangered' American reds refuse to leave us alone:  (all ARS & Amber Jacks were properly vented and returned to their watery homes)

Our new Northern friends will go home with memories to last a life time:


Back home it's 'in the money' jack pot winners:
Tuna: 18.0 pounds;  Grouper: 19.0 pounds:

Hope you enjoyed 'The Ultimate Fishing package' as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you. Leaving 8/26 for another on the water adventure. Come September, it's hog hunting with Perry, Florida's Two Guys And A Hog Outfitters.
This stand has my name on it. It overlooks two very active corn feeders sitting in the middle of 1,000 acres of the prettiest woods you have ever seen.
 

This is Our Florida!
Join me on the water & in the field. We will have a blast together.

The Florida weather look terrible for this weekend. Trip will probably be canceled. The Florida Fisherman is going on dry dock for two months. Looks like hog hunting time:
I will be hunting with Two Guys & A Hog, Perry, Florida, on this stand overlooking 1,000 acres of prime Florida hunting land. Watch for my reports.

 ..... We will be waiting on your reports and looking in the mail for the free samples ....

    Sounds good.  Our Florida weather is all messed up now. NO fishing this weekend. Hope to go hog hunting 9/14.
If the woods are under water I will also cancel that trip.
Hope to be back in action soon.
