September 10th Predawn Snook and Redfish

Marlene Chaplin and Tom Spencer of Naples and I left Bayshore boat ramp before the sun rose on Thursday the 10th of September. The double header snook bite happened seven minutes after arrival at one of our local fishing holes. I landed a 41 inch female snook in 24 foot of water and Tom's departed after a brief interlude which was captured in a few words of wisdom while I fought my fish for a good couple of minutes. After fishing along Keeywaden beaches for a 1 1/2 hours we landed numerous small snook and lost one huge sideliner. The redfish, five in total, were all over size and still feeding when we left the rock jettie. It was a beautiful morning and I am sure Tom and Marlene will feel there forearms tomorrow!!
