Snook Bonanza

Sunday I had the pleasure of spending the day with Jim from Clearwater Florida. The trip was planned to mirror the terrific snook bite we have been on the last 2 weeks. Bait is still readily available on the Skyway Bridge, several tosses net filled the live well. A negative .06 tide greeted us with some amazing views on the flats many void of water. Take time and observe, you be amazed how much you learn.

Happy New Year, it's got to be better than the old one!

Fishing this week has been a real pleasure. The fish were happy and the anglers were successful. What more can you ask for? Redfish have been the target species due to the super low tides we've been experiencing. Seatrout are beginning to get more active and there is a plethora of ladyfish and small jacks around. Most redfish came on the beginning of the incoming tide, but for a couple of days the fish were tailing as late as 4:00PM.
