Captain Dale Fields’ “Flats Meow Charters”

 

A good friend and customer, Skip, and I with some large Speckled/Spotted Sea Trout.  I know what he and his wife will be having for dinner tonight!!

 

My good friend, Jimmy, decided to go fishing with me rather than taking his own boat out.  I made him help me wash my boat plus he had to cook dinner!

 

These anglers had a great time trout fishing with Capt. Dale.  It was a little chilly today but the fish were pretty hungry.

  

These are some monster trout.   They plan on having them for dinner.

Another nice fat trout.

This Tarpon gave us a great fight.

 

Here I’m reviving this Tarpon and getting ready to release it.

 

This is a smaller fish, but it still took the angler 30 minutes to catch it!

These young ladies had a great time fishing with their dad.  They were pretty good anglers too.  Girls are actually better anglers because they have more patience and pay attention to instructions better that the boys do!! 

  

These fellas had a great time catching redfish.  Here they are with one of their catches.

 

This is my wife and my first mate, Linda.  When I take her fishing, she usually catches the first, the biggest and, usually, the most fish.   I guess that I taught her too well!!  We really enjoy our time on the water together.  She is a very good angler and enjoys fishing.  And, she helps me clean the boat!!

  

Here is another satisfied customer with a beautiful redfish.  Unfortunately, it was too big to keep. 

 

Redfish are one of the hardest-fighting fish we catch.  They may have only one spot back by their tail or occassionally they may have many spots.  They are beautiful  reddish gold color.   They also make good table fare.

I get calls from folks who want to go “Deep Sea” fishing.  When talking with them, it seems they think that all saltwater fishing is “Deep Sea” fishing.  That is not true.  Deep sea fishing just means to fish in the deeper waters of the salt water gulfs or oceans. 

Different species of fish live in the deeper water.  Deep sea fishing quite often requires long boat rides in very rough seas.  Many times, these rides are one or more hours long.  You may leave in the morning with smooth water, but the return ride home may be an unpleasant one.

If you are not prone to seasickness or motion sickness, the rewards often are worth the rought ride or rough water.  Although now with the size limits on fish, closed seasons, and the other legal restrictions, your rough ride may not be so fruitful. 

Different times of the year and different weather patterns usually dictate how much the winds will blow and how rough the seas may be.  Spring and Fall bring fronts, and with fronts, come wind.
