The Big One!







This is something that I felt I must share with everyone. Check out the fish my son and his friend caught a few nights ago. After they brought this in, my son and his friend carried this enormous fish in their bare hands about a 1/4 of mile back to our house (being very careful not to drop it back into the water of course). When arriving back home, the both of them ran as fast as they could up to the house (about 800 feet to the house from the creek). They were so out of breath they almost couldn't tell us about their big catch. Dad and his sisters all ran back to the creek to see what they caught, not believing the story they were telling us.

This is a whopping 43" Snook! I can't believe my son and his friend brought this gigantic fish in. They were so proud of themselves. They caught this fish on a 17lb test. Right after this picture was taken they released the Snook back into the creek which runs into the Englewood Isles Canals in Englewood Florida and he swam away only to be caught again another day. This will be a night that they will always remember and I am sure that this experience will make them Anglers for the rest of their lives.

Pelican Pointe Activity Report for April 2009

Many of Venice Florida seasonal visitors (otherwise known as "Snow Birds") have left Florida and returned home. I do not see activity in Pelican Pointe slowing down much as a result of Venice Florida's season ending. Last year at this time (May 2008 and June 2008) there were a total 15 homes sold. Hopefully last year's activity will be an indication of this years activity for the Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club.
