Capt. Rob

 Santiva Charters provides service from Captiva, North Captiva and Pine Islands.

Jimmy, Randy and Jim fished 4 days with Capt. Rob McKay of the Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team.  Boarding the boat each morning from Pine Island at .....9AM,......  I would guess this was a bankers holiday.

Good conversation, and fun was had by all.  Capt. Rob fished Pine Island sound on the inside catching red fish and snook and outside in the Gulf of Mexico for Grouper.

I'll bet these guy will have a difficult time going back to reality after being in paradise for 4 days.

Charlie and Pam Kriegel visitng Sanibel/Captiva from Maine.....fished this afternoon with Capt. Jim Burnsed.  Can you believe that folks from Maine have on jackets in Florida ? In spite of cooler and windy conditions , Pam and Charlie reeled in on some fun

Pam and small snook

Pam and a flounder

 Capt. Jim fished with the friendly faces of the Paul Edelman party in the morning.
 My Dad , Edgar Collins will be happy to know that this catch ended up in freezer paper with his name on it.  I did cook a little for Capt. Jim's dinner.

I took the red fish fillet sprinkled with a little catus dust, melted some butter in a fry pan. Once the butter was warm I added the fish topping with honey mustard. I browned on one side than flipped the mustard side down and adder a few capers. Sauteed until done ( flaky)
The butter, honey mustard and capers made a nice sauce, and the catus dust gave a great color.
