Pre Fathers Day catching
I way lost count of the number of fish caught on this pre fathers day trip out of Steinhatchee. The trout chew was strong and we got one of the best flounder I have seen in a while. Little Ms. Maddy learned to cast a spinning rod and we kept some good ones for dinner.

2 new lady anglers
2 new lady anglers. I had the honor to take these young girls out for their first fishing trip ever. Quickly found out Ms. Abby is a natural landing 17 fish and limiting out on trout. She picked up on casting for herself and also caught her first fish using artificial with no help. We even took a few swims to cool off and have fun, those life jackets get hot!

Fishing Steinhatchee with old friends
Had a bumpy morning with my old friend Charlie, his son and good friends in Steinhatchee. Had a nice trout and flounder along with a surprise baby cobia that provided a fun fight. Some sharks came to play too. Soooo many small sea bass and a few small trout. Fun morning

Enjoyable day with a congenial captain. We'll be having mangrove snapper for dinner! My 8-year-old nephew also had a blast. I would certainly recommend an outing with Capt. Chris.
