May 2011 Trips

Just wanted to show a few pictures from the past few outings. Enjoy!






Manatee swam over to say hello!

May Flats Slam (Snook, Red, Trout)

I hit snooze a few to many times and didn't get out on the water until 7:45am. Launched to a flat calm bay. Started seeing movement on the flats, lots of mullet activity. I was casting a mirromullet top water lure when I saw something following it on the flat. I slowed down the retrieve and received a blow up. I continued the stop and go process until fish finally took the lure the third time. I then boated a 35.6" snook. Snapped a few pictures and released the snook in perfect health. 


I continued on throwing a DOA paddle tail and boated a bunch of small rat reds. Near a school of mullet. Moving deeper on to the flat I caught some trout to complete today's slam. 


Overall it was a great day on the water

Trout on the Spook

Was able to get out one morning to fish with my dad. Threw the spook and managed to catch some nice trout before the wind picked up.






Ohero Inshore Slam Gold Series Rods


The Inshore Slam Gold Series Rod is another great product from Ohero. I purchased it a little over a year ago and it has caught countless fish including 32” snook and 40” redfish. It has been through it all and has yet to let me down. I have the 7 foot medium action rod. It has 9 silicon carbide guides, which rival those of any maker. This specific rod is has enough backbone to take on almost any fish the flats can throw at it with its IM7 graphite fibers.  I purchased this rod a year ago and it seems like I just picked it off the rod rack in the store. This rod is perfect for a budget minded fisherman as this rod runs under $60. You can pick up this rod among many others in the series from Tampa Fishing Outfitters, justforfishing.com, and amazon.com. Support a Tampa company and have the best tackle in the business from Ohero.
