Capt Pete's carries ice, drinks, food and snacks and the top line of fishing jigs necessary for your fishing success.

Some people are born fisherman, Capt Pete Rosko is one of them. His curiosity of creatures beneath the waters spawned the invention of the following lures:

Originally created for salmon and halibut jigging, the herring/shad shaped metal jig has attracted the attention of all types of fish worldwide, including Florida. It is the most versatile lure you'll ever use. Natural in appearance and action, a Crippled Herring can be used worldwide everyday of the year for all baitfish-eating predator fishing … fresh or salt water.

The Kandlefish is a natural reproduction of the candlefish, a member of the smelt family. It's a baitfish, highly prized by many gamefish around the world, and is highly effective in both fresh and salt water. Its lively action and ly sonic vibrations imitate the frantic and erratic action of many other species of injured baitfish such as smelt, shiners, shad, anchovies, sardines, herring, needlefish, and sandlance. Its wide range of sizes enables the Kandlefish to be effectively fished from just below the surface down to 300 feet. It is extremely versatile and can be cast, jigged or trolled. When cast, or jigged, most strikes will occur on the fall. The K-Fish has a swimming-darting action on the retrieve, or when trolled, and a strike-triggering erratic fluttering and gliding action on the fall. Practice with your Kandlefish in calm, clear water to become familiar with its action.

The patented "Erie Shiner", winner of the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) "Best Spinner Award", is highly-effective as a casting, jigging and trolling lure. Its lively action and sonic vibrations are especially effective on walleyes and smallmouth bass in U.S. and Canadian waters. Available in 4 sizes - 1/4 (Mini). 3/8, 5/8 & 1 ozs and in a variety of proven finishes.
