Are You Superstitious ?

Are You Superstitious ?

Capt. Dan

As we shoved off from the dock at Cedar Key, folks yelled, "good luck". Well, it was Friday the 13th and we were joking about good luck and bad luck. We shouldn`t have worried at all. We had light winds and healthy fish habitat everywhere and it was springtime in Cedar Key, Florida.


2 of my 5 guests were fishing on the bottom, and 3 were floating shrimp above the grass. We fished in 1 spot for 2 hours catching speckled trout so long you didn`t have to measure them. You just knew they were over the 15in. legal `keeper` size. Fisherman Bruce caught a 14.5in Pompano with shrimp weighted down on the bottom.


Our biggest Mackerel was caught off the bottom. All but 1 of our trout were caught with shrimp floating under a `popping` bobber. We had started our trip at high tide, so the water had been falling since we left the dock. I found a grassy spot with 4ft of water to finish off the trip and we topped our cooler with 1 more plump trout before heading back in.


After a bunch of picture taking I got busy filleting their catch. They left with 1 large, fat, ziplock bag full of fresh fish. All of them delicious, but the Pompano is very special. You know it`s nickname is `the cadillac of the ocean`.

Check out the picture of Ellen with her Mackerel. It`s still springtime and the fishing is great, so call me at 352-221-5463 or go to http://www.inshorefloridafishing.com. thanks, Capt. Dan
