Capt Mel,

We have been fishing the Southeastern Tampa Bay shoreline for a couple years now and I've worked hard at getting my wife Coleen on some snook to no avail. Over the years she has earned the alias of Catfish Col :-) This past weekend we drug the boats with some good friends down to Everglades City in an attempt to break the dreaded Catfish Curse for a three day fishing trip. Last hole on the last day we found them and it was non stop action for the next hour until the water got almost too skinny to get out. Long story short she pulled the three biggest fish of the trip. This one was the smallest of the three at 29 inches. She pulled two others at 30+. The smile on her face was well worth the 75-85 miles per day we put on the boats at 5mpg not to mention the 200+ miles each way at 9.5mpg to drag the boat. Great weekend with good friends and great fishing.

I can't tell you what a great resource your site and radio show have been.

Thanks!

P.S.  we were fishing live greenbacks on an outgoing tide.
