So last night as I previously mentioned I went night fishing The dock lights in around St Pete Beach and St Petersburg. For reason I can guess many of the private boat docks of the very upscale waterfront homes have underwater colored lights. Most of these lights had literally dozens of very sizeable fish in the lights and shadow line. Most of these fish were Snook but as I found out there were redfish and mangrove snappers. We did see some good size specked trout but did not hook any. We also expected to find baby tarpon but did not see any.
The game was simply to throw a white fly into the light and hang on. The fish were on the fly immediately. Most of the fish caught were Snook but also hooked a good size redfish that took a while to land. Also caught a line mangrove snapper that fought very hard. Hooked some large fish that broke me off including the berry last fish I could not control and never saw but had on for some blistering runs before breaking my 30lb tippet.
It was great fun and if your in the Tampa area give Capt Dave Dant, (727) 744-9039, a call.
