According to friends at chokoloskee, passes all open and access to ocean is as well. Just keep going out past boundary. Out of the keys http://www.keysnet.com/2013/10/05/490919/despite-shutdown-national-marine.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Biscayne bay areas outside b...

Nice to be here, see all you guys still busy fishing

I hear that Choko is also closed down, at least any part within Park boundries, but the same report said Rangers will patrol, issue tickets or assest... If the rangers are going to patrol anyway....why in hades is the f_ing park closed??????????? Sorry, My bad - I was mixing Guvment and logic. :oop...

Ha! You met michealeen! I love her, she is an inspiration to me and also a good friend. That rapidfire solo canoe is sweet. My hemlock kestrel used to belong to her and I got it for a great price,it weighs 29lbs. Yeah, crooked creek is nice but honestly, Lopez is one of my favorite places to stay at...

Loved the report and pics! Saw the post of the bobcat on glades go deep. Wild!

Stayed on crooked creek this past new years eve and liked it but not as much as the old Sunday bay chickee. It can get buggy with no wind. What did you think?

That loop you did is a favorite of mine.

BFW I really am excited to see that even I can spot tails on the flats! Finally the bay is back Plus we have skirted the oil disaster so lot's to celebrate on your birthday month

Dave I've used bucktails 1/8 or skimmer rigged with tip of shrimp or a piece of FishBites. Also have caught bones with Bass Assasin plastics weedless. Krash has also scored with the DOA shrimp which I now have in my arsenal. Another friend has had success with the new penny Gulp weedless. Sure and e...

Tex, been a long time since i bought shrimp they are so tiny i just figured tipping a flats jig instead. how r u rigging those small shrimp on circle hook?

Tex I stopped at bait shop and loaded up with shrimp. Got to Matheson and slowly worked my way south saw bonefish and prepared my presentation. Shot a perfect shot then notice I can't get my bail to click back! Fish heading for lure I make noise to scare it and bring in the line by hand. AUGH! Had a...

Excellent news to hear. I was afraid we would not have permit this year.

Congrats Tex! What did you catch it on..have to rig for saturday

Tex, congrats on the bonefish! I plan to be out there next weekend. You used a J Hook with live bait? Circle hook works best for me.

Good for you Tex! Glad to know that someone is seeing some fish out there...it gives me hope.

It took me an entire summer season before I got a bonefish hook up. It will happen for you.

Tex it was great meeting you too! Cordell, no we were fishing Deering as I had not been there since it closed last year. I will try Matheson next time keep up the good work and find them bones. I just don't know when it will turn around for Biscayne after that cold snap I notice a lot less baitfish,...

Thanks Cordell, I'll start bringing fishing pole along. Now the neighbors will not know what else to think about me :roll: I wonder if the snook started heading into the canals when the cold weather came to try and survive the cold. Maybe they are still in these areas because of the abundance of foo...
