Went to fish with a friend of mine on Lake Ida Fishing was very slow probably due to the cool front we have coming through.

Fish we’re taking on 2 to 3 inch bait fish patterns

Andy wanted to fish the full moon last night. It was really windy and wind against the tide. We had a great night couple ladyfish couple of nice size jacks plenty of snook but the tarpon alluded us. We had courtroom eats and couldn’t stay tight. He was using a size 2 light tan shrimp fly all night.

back from New York. Just got off the water from my trip this evening snook fishing was excellent fishing small white minnows. Got a jack and we put a tarpon in the air. Fish Rod from New York and Lou from Miami. Had a great time with the guys.

Another very tough day. Sandeels were what the Bass were feeding on. Temps in the 70’s was nice but would’ve liked it cooler & better fishing.

Another tough day. Pretty sloppy out. Some schools were on peanut bunker & others on sand eels. Some much bait & birds but not a lot of fish.

Being the wind won’t stop blowing I headed back to my old home waters. Fished a few hours this afternoon & the Bass were very finicky. Did manage to land a few. It was great to Striper fish as I miss it.

Nothing has changed still very windy & next 10-day forecast doesn’t look any better. Hit a FW pond this morning

Caught this micro Snook

And got this micro Tarpon. Both fish were caught on boni cord black & purple fly bout 2 1/2” long

Well the winds been blowing for 4-days now & supposed to continue all week

So it’s time to replenish the fly box’s.

Last night we had a rough time getting bit. The river was loaded with finger mullet. We found a light with no mullet & Andy went 2-4 on Snook. The last light we hit the current was ripping & mullet getting blasted & he managed getting a Tarpon to end the night. I’d say the picture says it all.

Headed offshore yesterday in search of Black fin tuna. We didn’t find any but we found some yellow jacks and I have to say they taste really good. And then we headed into the ICW to see if we could find some baby tarpon. And we went 2-2
