SW FL-Bonita Beach: Shark, Hogs, Mutton, Mangs & Mackerel
Thursday, I fished with repeated buyers Dick Arnett, Eddie Alfonse, Fred McNeal and good friend, John. We fished with live shrimp, twenty miles west of New Pass in 43 ft, in which the team caught thirteen nice mangrove snapper to seventeen one/2 inches, a fifteen-inch sheepshead, a 22-inch king mackerel, two keeper porkfish, a 15-inch hogfish, a mess of whitebone porgies to 15 inches, and some big grunts. They released plenty of gag grouper to 21 inches and red grouper to eighteen inches, along with a few of puffer fish and two ramoras.
I had high hopes of duplicating Thursdays trip when I headed offshore Friday morning hours with lengthy-time buyer, Mike Connealy, and three of his close friends. But the weather conditions had altered, with the winds kicked up to fifteen to 20 knots, which produced for some sloppy situations. Fishing wasnt nearly as successful as it had been Wednesday and Thursday. The foursome managed to catch a number of keeper mangrove snapper and lane snapper, several keeper porkfish, and some grunts. All the porgies were scaled-down than they have been recently, so we introduced people, along with three gag grouper to twenty inches and two eighteen-inch red grouper. We tried to do some activity fishing, with blue runners as bait, but even the goliaths werent fascinated. We did get to see a turtle skillfully take in the bait off 1 of our hooks without acquiring hooked himselfwhew!
Saturday morning, the winds have been howling when once more. I fished a catch-and-launch journey inshore, in Estero Bay, with John Boulger, Jimmy Hessel and two of their buddies. We unveiled ten sheepshead, a 24-inch ladyfish and a puffer fish.
Monday early morning, 2/6, I fished Estero Bay in a light drizzle component of the early morning, with John Kimmins, his brother, Brian Kimmins, and Johns son, Tom Kimmins. We employed live shrimp to catch five redfish, several of them keepers among eighteen ½ and 21 inches long. We introduced two stingrays, an 18-inch Gaftail Sailcat, five sheepshead to twelve inches, and a 19-inch snook.
Recurrent customers Ron Musick, Eddie Alfonse, Dick Arnett, Fred McNeal and Bob Mayer fished with me Tuesday, making use of are living shrimp in 43 ft. The huge mangrove snapper ended up biting well once more, and the group caught 5 of people to seventeen ½ inches, along with 5 keeper porkfish, a keeper sheepshead at fifteen inches, a 14-inch keeper hogfish, and a mess of huge grunts. We launched 1 smaller hogfish, a lot of triggerfish shorts to 13 ½ inches, and tons of red and gag grouper shorts to eighteen inches. We had a 7-foot sandbar shark hanging about for a even though, harassing our catches, but he in no way managed to bite any of them.
Wednesday early morning, I delayed my departure time with Jim and Marge Jambor and friends, Costs and Joan Fabian, in buy to catch the best tide in Estero Bay. We fished an incoming tide, but it was a sluggish one, and not ideal. Jim caught a 21-inch black drum and Costs caught a 13-inch keeper sheepshead. We unveiled stingrays, puffers, and some undersized other individuals.
Thursday, Terry Howell and buddies, Fred and Jerry, had prepared to fish the gulf. But the weather had other plans, with large winds and seas of three-to-five ft offshore. So, we switched tracks and fished a catch-and-launch trip in Estero Bay, exactly where we used are living shrimp to catch 5 sheepshead and three crevalle jacks. The bite was sluggish, and the bay was on the muddy side that morning.
Friday morning hours, seas calmed temporarily, and I acquired out offshore 19 miles to fish with Roger Gordon, Rich Nelson, and Rich Pearson. We caught a mess of about 30 grunts to 12 inches and a keeper triggerfish at fourteen inches. We released three smaller sized triggerfish, several porkfish, a handful of porgies, and a hogfish-brief. Our most exhausting and thrilling catch was an 8-foot sandbar shark that weighed about 200 pounds–we shot some online video of that one just before releasing it. By the time we headed in, there was a sizable swell building in progress of the up coming cold-front, which was because of to get there Saturday into Sunday, bringing high winds and seas and probable rain. And, Monday, two/thirteen, introduced frigid temps and extremely reduced tides in the bay, so I encouraged my planned inshore excursion to defer their excursion to a day with more promising circumstances.
The photograph shown is of angler, Kari Vilamaa, with a 17-inch mutton snapper, caught on are living shrimp, on a modern offshore trip.

FS: Pro Gear Oceanus 30 with Jigging Master Extended arm and LT-51 T-bar handle
Nicely people, this is a sad day, but I have substantially lowered my time on the drinking water and this reel was designed to be employed and abused, not gathering dust on my desk.
The reel has been on three fishing journeys and has never ever been restricted on a fish. Spooled with Daiwa PE8 Boat Braid, she’s available to fish ASAP!
This reel became renowned and almost had a cult subsequent due to the Jigging Learn boys back again in the day. Pony would often use this reel in their video clips and would subdue many Samson fish with ease.
The serial number on the reel is three hundred and was sent back again to Danny Jimenez for the totally free upgrades outlined below
"We at Professional Gear are identified to give you the utomst in quality, functionality and service in all of our goods. At this time we are providing at no charge to cutomers a sequence of upgrades readily available to the 1st 300 reels in our Oceanus series commencing with serial #0001 to serial #300.
The upgrades will consist of a new spool and drag component which will give enhanced drag performance, a new cam for increased drag adjustment and drag strain even though providing you exceptional freespool. In regards to the body and upper clamp assembly, the frame thickness has been considerably improved to permit far more bite with the higher clamp screws. Loctite is used to these screws to sort a reliable relationship. The newly created frame has a more robust base and even greater balance with a decrease profile. This feature permits the reel to sit lower on the rod to give you much better control whilst on a fish or just winding in. These upgrades will be accessible within the 1st component of November.
We are very self-confident in our product and we will stand guiding our solution a hundred%. As pointed out formerly, all of these reels will acquire these upgrades at no cost.
When again, thank you for your continued assistance."
As stated in the title, the reel has also been upgraded to the Jigging Learn extended arm piece, exclusively produced for this reel (no extended obtainable) as effectively as a JM LT-51 T-bar manage for wonderful winching electrical power. The jigging movement on this reel is perfect. I will also include the original arm that came with the reel.
Also, considering that the arm was a small little bit thicker than the stock arm and prevented the handle screw from returning again to it is stock situation, this prevented the manage lock screw from tightening all the way down and sitting down flush with the arm. So I pulled out the dremel and had to grind down the manage screw until finally it did.
I’m asking for $ 300 shipped. The reel will also come with a Professional Gear Neoprene Reel case.
