No pictures but the snook fishing wading the beach was good.
Went over to visit our friends Thursday aftertnoon and fished with excellent fisherman, Carl as my guide.
Good conditions in the trough Thursday evening, sunrise Friday morning and sunset Friday. Got blown up with wind on Saturday morning and evening and same Sunday morning,
Carl caught several nice snook Thursday evening then he caught several more Friday morning including a 12 lb and I caught the largest of my short florida career, a 15 lb fat one. Carl stuck with the fly rod and a green deciever and I used a spinning rod with lead head jigs mostly red and white.
The action was all in the trough north of the inlet. The snook were active when the glass minnows were thick ei before Saturday when the wind kicked way up. There were schools of blue runners working the bait and the odd mackeral.
I enjoyed that so much that I am going to try the beach on Sanibel maybe this Friday morning on the lhigh tide around sunrise.
