Today I had repeat client Orlando Di Renzio from Jersey and his Joe visiting from Taiwan. The guys had a fantastic time fishing The Everglades.
Most of the bass were in the 2 lb. range, with a few over. I had taken them to a location that I hadn’t fishing in quit awhile, and it turn out a great choice.
We were fishing this deep drop off that was holding bass, the boys were using shiners free lining them off the ledge.
Then it was Joe’s moment, as his rod bent over like a noodle, at that point we knew the fight was on. every time she came close to the Triton she took off again. Joe who has been fishing all his life handled the bass perfect. It was a good feeling getting the net under her, knowing he had won the battle. Joe landed a fish of a life time , this bass was well over 10 + LB. The bass actually broke the scale while trying to get an exact weight.
Then he caught another around 6-7 LB. plus a 7-8 LB. Cat that gave him a great fight. Although Joe had the excitement dear old Dad did catch most of the bass and it was his instruction that caused Joe to catch ,”The Hawg”.
This is what it is all about not the fishing only, it’s a Father & Son spending quality time together the fish is the bonus.
The Big Bass season is here so it time to get out of the cold and come on Down to South Florida where the weather is great and so is the fishing.
Call Capt. Frank Carbone whilt there is still spots open.
