First Saltwater Fishing Report



 For Spring Break, Carly and I took a trip down to Jupiter, FL to visit our friend Steve and to enjoy some sunshine.

The weather and scenery were beautiful and we had a fantastic time on the beach and the surrounding areas.

On Wednesday, we took a guided fishing trip with Craig Korczynski from Phlats Inshore Fishing (click here for link to his website).  Craig was a great guy who worked hard to put us on fish.

We ended up fishing brackish water in the Loxahatchee River.  It was great to fish in a place with no boats where sightings of manatees and alligators were common.  In fact, the manatees were so interested in us they came right to the boat.

It was strange to catch both fresh and saltwater species in the same place.  Carly ended up out-fishing me both in number of fish and species.  She caught: gar, snook, jack, catfish, ladyfish, snapper, and largemouth bass on light spinning tackle.

I caught snook and snapper and suffered a broken line costing me a nice tarpon.

While we didn't catch any trophies in our trip, we had constant action, beautiful scenery, and a great time.
