Time for the Airboat
1-19-2008
As I am writing this report it is cloudy and spitting rain with a
south wind at 15 knots and building as a cold front is pushing our
way. Sounds like the perfect day to go fishing, well not exactly .
But when the sun rises tomorrow we will have north winds at 20 knots
and allot of low water. Now this is what I'm talking about, North
winds and negative low tides create the perfect scenario for airboat
fishing at its finest. We fish in the Gassparilla sound area of
Charlotte harbor were the numerous potholes and deep troughs will
keep enough water in them for the Redfish, Trout, and Snook to
survive the low tide. However the only way to gain access to these
low bottom areas is via my airboat. The airboat will skim across wet
grass and take us to the fish that are trapped in these holes. Once
we get there we will be using an assortment of baits to catch these
fish, topwaters, spoons, and the most popular will be soft plastic
Exudes. The day will be spent in the protection of the mangrove
backcountry, so while we will feel the wind it will not be very
bothersome. I will be running charters from today ( 1-19-2008) thru
Thursday ( 1-24-2008). When I return I will give you all the details
and photos of the weeks fishing. So wish for strong north wind and
beautiful blue skies.
