Current Report
Luke Rehwoldt, a deputy
sheriff from Osceola County
fished with me the last two
days with some thundering
results. The first day,
which was actually an
evening, we hit the water at
about 6pm and fished till
11pm. The snook and tarpon
had teamed up on a school of
small mehaden on the edge of
a backwater flat and were
absolutely blowing up the
surface. Everytime you
tossed a bait into the mix
it was crushed. You had less
then 3 seconds to get ready
because you would have a
fish on that quick. The
tarpon were crashing the
baits so hard that they
missed them a few times and
just threw the menhaden's
out of the water. You always
hear about those epic
feeding frenzy's, well this
was one of them. It only
lasted about an hour and a
half but for that time it
was non stop. We hooked 8
tarpon and landed 6 of them,
landed 5 snook and broke off
2 in the mangroves and one
on a dock piling, and 2
ladyfish. Then as it got
dark they just stopped as
quick, so we finished out
the night catching seatrout,
nothing giant just 15
inchers but as fast as you
could go. I can't even count
how many were caught, it was
just one of those kinda
nights.
Luke returned the next day
for a morning session,
6:30am to 10:30am, and
brought his brother, Tyler,
to experience some of the
action. We filled our bait
well with menhaden in two
casts of the net and went to
work again. The tarpon were
there petty thick but we
couldn't get any to bite and
after 45 minutes of nothing
I decided were beating a
dead horse so we cut our
losses on the tarpon for
today and began working the
mangrove shoreline. It ended
up paying off. Over the next
few hours we landed 21 snook
and lost a few to
the 'groves. It was just
another amazing day. Luke
and Tyler enjoyed some of
the best fishing the Indian
River has to offer over a
two day period. All fish
were caught in less than 4
feet of water and most of
them we saw prior to casting
to them which made it even
better.
