Prospects & General Comments:
Let me begin this fishing report with a brief announcement: As of December 4th, 2017 Captain Tom Van Horn is now a full-time fishing guide. Many of you know me as a fishing captain, but few know I also served as a professional fire fighter for a total combined 43-years including a hitch as a fire fighter in the USAF. Well on December 4th, I placed my fire helmet on the mantel and retired from the FD. Now in the next chapter in my life, I will be focusing my full attention on my fishing charter business and other related kids fishing organizations and events. Life has been good to me, and now it will be even better.

This report covers a span of almost two weeks and began with a two-day paddle fishing adventure with father and son team Mike and Mike Hammes. Since it was a paddle fishing fly charter, Captain John Kumiski served as the second boat commander and our first day was to the No-Motor Zone. As usual with fly anglers, the wind did not corporate averaging 15 MPH for both days, so very little fly fishing was done. In the NMZ I typically look for fish up on the sandy shoals, but due to high & dirty water conditions and a brisk wind, we could not even find the shoals and sight fishing was out of the question. We than regressed and began blind casting jigs on spinning rods and managed a good number of sea trout and one very respectable snook. On our second day we fish the backwaters our of River Breeze in the north Mosquito Lagoon, and only managed one slot redfish and a few sea trout. Lucky for us, Mike and Mike traveled across America for the adventure of fishing the back waters of east Florida, and on both days combined we had the water to ourselves for the most part. We also added an elevated level of adventure when we got caught up in a sever thunderstorm that pushed up from the south for which we unsuccessfully alluded.
