Had Heath from Pennsylvania come out for his first salt, water fishing trip on fly. He was able to knock the snook off his bucket list, along with a bunch of jacks a few of them that were taken all poppers bunch of moon fish, and even had a tarpon bite.

John from North Carolina came out for his first Doc light trip. And what a night he had common snook giant tarpon snook jacks moonfish ladyfish. All on a size 4 white minnow.

biggest tarpon snook I’ve ever seen

Doug had an unbelievable morning. I didn’t know what to expect due to the cold weather we’ve been having. But the snook and Jax were tearing it up. Small 2 inch white fly took all the fish. Even got some small jacks on Papa’s and lost a big one.

common Snook

Tarpon Snook

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
