Fishing Report 8/30/2014

We are visiting my Uncle and one of my Cousins this weekend down in Port Charlotte. Paul took us to one of the spots he's had luck at before - El Jobean Fishing Pier on the Myakka River. My nephew Lucas also came and had a blast with Marlon and Noe (who gave themselves new names - Marlon = Magellan and Noe = Amelia; I don't have the full story on that just yet). Everyone took turns throwing the cast nets (Paul's was way bigger - 8' diameter; our's was a 3' diameter). We caught a number of Menhaden, but no luck on anything else. We did see a manatee swimming, and one of the other fishermen caught a catfish. Oh well - you win some, you lose some...
