Good Fishing for the Deardon Family

Fishing report June 28 and 29 2012

Kim, Savannah, Milo and Miles spent a couple nice days in the Everglades Backcountry with me this past week. Nice calm weather and lots of action.

Spent a morning on the flats fishing light tackle for whatever was biting. The water was still riled up after the recent windstorm but the fish were hungry. Using fresh caught Ballyhoo for bait the family had a blast catching Redfish, Seatrout, Spanish Mackerel, Ladyfish, Mangrove Snapper, Bluefish, Gag Grouper and small Sharks. The highlight of the day was fishing a river mouth and having some big Snook action. Permit Trek, Bonefish Trek and Sailfish Trek rods fitted with Diablo 350, 550 and 750 reels were all used on the Snook. Lots of fun until a big shark showed up and we moved towards home. The next day was the boys turn. We were hoping for some Tarpon but they were still not in the biting mood since the big winds. But Goliath Grouper to 100lbs. Bull Sharks and lots of Blacktip Sharks kept the men busy. Milo caught 2 Cobia as well as his first Goliath Grouper. Dad, Miles , caught a the big Goliath of the day on a Sailfish Trek rod fitted with a Diablo 750 reel. Nice catch.

The family comes down to Islamorada at least once a year and love using the Foxsportfishing tackle. Plenty of snapper fillets and good memories were taken back to Tampa, Florida.
