Our Fish Picture of the Week!

Hello Capt. Mel;

My dad (Roy Shultz) and I had never been good at catching Kings out of Tampa. We made it a mission to land a good size one this year and on our third trip out, we boated this 22 pounder on April 23rd. After going 0 for 9 on hits, the 10th one was the charm. This is my first Tampa Kingfish.

We were fishing in the ships channel with free-lined live threadfins. I had just learned how to make the mono-to-wire knots (Albright knot) and the stinger rig, myself. So I was relieved to see my knots all held true.

Since conquering that mission, we are now looking to get our first Tampa tarpon. Your website has helped us tremendously! Thanks for all your efforts!

Sincerely,

Andrew Shultz

Way to go Andrew! what a nice king -- and what fun they are to catch! As his prize, Andrew will receive a" Capt. Mel MirrOlure assortment" of some of the most productive, fish-catching plugs she and her dad Tim ever use.
