Re: What reel should i get?
Shimano Spheros is the way to go in my opinion. Its a great all around reel, I use my 4000 to throw plugs (topwater, sebiles, mirrolures, etc.) But its still treated me well when the fish are only hitting soft plastics and my girlfriend needs a rod to use. Haven't had a problem at all with it, typic...

Where to launch a kayak in chokoloskee?
Making a trip down there tommorrow to pre paddle for an upcoming camping trip i'll be doing with some friends. Are there any good public launches? Or should I stick with the state park?

Another Day, Another Slam
Albeit a small one... The fishing this time of year is awesome. Find a grassy ledge with some water movement in the bay, and your gonna catch snook trout and redfish all day. I made it out in Lemon Bay on Saturday with a friend of mine, looking for some fun on the flats. Right off the bat I found a ...

Same place, same time today. Slightly different conditions, no clouds and a bit stronger winds. Started off slow with a small jack being it for the first hour, got mad and decided to paddle back. In the process of paddling back, I managed my first slam, a 16 inch trout coming first, a 16 inch red pr...

Lemon Bay 11-3-09
Put in with no real plan, just to paddle and fish and relax and enjoy a little bit of time off from work and school. Seems like the days with no plan always provide the best fishing... Right off the bat I caught a 12 inch flounder, my first both from a kayak and on artifical. He ate an exude dart. h...

I try to a lot since I work on the island and it's just easy to put in when I get off in the morning. I haven't been able to for the past year since I've had school every day I've gotten off shift, but that's coming to an end and I couldn't be happier. I've had pretty consistent success with more of...

Boca Grande Flats
Fished the incoming this morning after work hoping to run into redfish, but happily settled when I found the trout. Caught quite a few, all at least 15 inches with 19 being the biggest. Could only hook them on topwater, they would chase a spoon all the way back to the side of my kayak but wouldnt hi...

I made myself a bait tube out of PVC. The basic schematic is outlined here... http://www.plasticnavy.com/bait-tube.htm I did modify it to my needs however. I used 4 inch PVC pipe, and used a normal PVC Cap for the back end of it and used a real cheap cap for the front that fits into the pipe instead...

3 rods, one rigged with a topwater, one rigged with soft plastics on jigheads, and a third rigged with a spoon or bucktail jig or D.O.A. shrimp or terroreyz, depending on my mood. To keep those in stock I carry a small old tupperware with 10-12 bags of soft plastics, and a small plano with 1-2 buckt...
