I always enjoy my days with the Deutsch Ross, Mindy and their daughters Reggie and Roxy. They love Flamingo and make the long drive from Boca to fish with me. They are the clients that put all their faith in me. They know I always have their best interest in mind and I want them to catch everything that swims. This day was just like that, our first spot was very dirty. I decided to make a run out to the the Gulf of Mexico and it was worth it. The Snook were chasing pilchards and everyone was hooking up on every cast. We were throwing Rapala “Twitch n Raps”, Gulp Swimming Mullet and then a few live shrimp. We moved around and found some Permit roaming a shoreline. We only caught 1 but 2 others gave us some good runs and break offs. Roxy did a great job fighting the fish which tried to wrap her up like the others did. She landed it, it wasn’t a giant but it was a Permit.
Reggie was next, while floating baits for Tarpon a Lemon shark came up and ate it. Reggie fought like a pro and got it to the boat for pictures and release. Ross and Mindy were having a great day watching the girls catch plenty of fish ,that’s when a nice Tarpon rolled in front of us. Ross threw the '“Twitch n Rap’ in front of it let it sit and we were on. The Tarpon went nuts and broke us off! It was late in the day and we headed in hoping to get a Tarpon by the marina, we didn’t land one but hooked a couple.
As they were getting up on the dock I told the girls “ You did n excellent job fighting fish today” . Reggies answer gave me great satisfaction when she said “we just did what you have tough us all these years”. I was really happy to here that, sometimes it seems like no one is listening.
