What an interesting weekend of fishing!

Steve Wozniak and Cristiano Bernarde joined me aboard Foxy Lady for a 2 day charter.

Cris is visiting from Brazil and loves to fish. Steve is another matter altogether. I have not met many fisherman that share the enthusiasm of trying to catch everything that swims as much as myself. Fishing with Steve Wozniak was a great experience for me. This man has just finished a world wide quest to catch and document 1000 species of fish caught on hook and line. INCREDIBLE..... You can read more of his hilarious adventures on his blog at www.1000fish.wordpress.com. Anyway Steve told me he just wanted to show his good buddy Cris a good fishing time.

We spent the first day on the reef patches. Action was really good with 3 species of Grouper, Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snappers, Hog fish, assorted Porgies, Jacks and so on, all caught on light tackle. On the reef Cris caught a Mutton Snapper about 7lbs using a Fox Trek Bonefish rod paired with a Diablo 350 reel. That particular fish ended up at Lazy Days Restaurant.

Steve Wozniak loves catching different species
such as this Yellowtail Snapper

Later in the day Steve had mentioned a species of fish he had not caught before. I knew about this particular fish because my Grandfather had started me out at 3 years old fishing for them. It was what we call a Sailer's Choice or Sea Bream. We went to the mouth of a local canal to try. After about 50 pinfish, snapper, jack and ladyfish and even a nice Snook, Steve caught what he was after. That Sailer's choice gave Steve 1109 different species up til now. He was so excited and that made his day and trip. Steve knows just about every Latin /Scientific name ..amazing.

Steve pose with a Spotted Seatrout and a nice one at that!

Steve landed this nice Snook

On day 2 we hit the backcountry and had lots of action with Trout, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Blacktip Sharks, Ladyfish and even oddities such as White Tipped Sharksuckers and Lizardfish. Steve is sumitting an all tackle world record application  for a Sharksucker. He is working on a lifetime achievement award and hopes to catch over 100 world records.

Cris wanted to catch a shark and ended
up with a half dozen Blacktips

Note the Remora's aka Sharksuckers. Steve submitted an
all tackle IGFA record for a much larger one he caught this day

Good luck Steve and thanks for fishing with me.

By the way Steve carries his own travelling tackle store but was still very impressed by the Fox Travel rod Trek series.
