Description
Shawn Trindell is an FWC fisheries biologist who helps manage the Catch a Florida Memory program in Florida.
Shawn had hooked plenty of snook and lost every one. On this episode of the Hawks Cay Saltwater Experience, Captain Tom Rowland and Captain Rich Tudor take him into the Everglades backcountry to try for the new Southern Inshore Slam: a spotted seatrout, a redfish and a snook in the same day.
The trout come fast on popping corks, and the biggest goes 22 inches. When the tide falls, the redfish crowd into one trough, and there are too many to count. That leaves the snook. With the crew down to one small pocket of clear water, Tom decides to give it five more casts. Shawn hooks up on the fourth.
In this episode:
• Why a popping cork outfished the jig for trout
• How a falling tide pushes redfish out of miles of flats and into one small area
• What a trout has to measure to qualify for Reel Big Fish (it’s 24 inches)
• Shawn’s first snook and his first Southern Inshore Slam
• How the 75-species Catch a Florida Memory life list works, with prizes at 10, 30, 50 and 75 species
