The remoteness of this spot protects it, the shallow water around this spot also helps keep even the skinniest of flats boats from getting anywhere near this remote key…its also a very long paddle from Flamingo, but the redfish make it worth the trip.
We set out around 11:30 from Flamingo and set straight out for our objective, it took well into the afternoon to reach and we traveled at about an average speed of 5 knots (Pat kept tabs on his GPS), the conditions were beautiful with a very minimal chop.
Setting out
You can see our objective in the distance…still about 10 miles out
Little Jacks everywhere there was channel
We landed and made dinner, explored for a little while and then me and rick headed out for some fishing on the surrounding flats. We were catching little Jacks and Ladyfish like crazy and both rick and I lost pair of snook on the jump. I managed a Red and some nice shots of the sunset and we headed back in…had to drag the boats across mud for about 200yds…tide snuck out on us.
Home for the night
Heading out to fish
Ricks monster
A decent red to start it off
Sunset on the Gulf
Last peek
The full moon makes for crazy tides, we could walk out for hundreds of yards on the exposed flats, I messed around with the exposures while we waited for the tide roll back in and flood these flats again and bring in the big reds that hang around out there...they came after midnight.
We drank a bit while waiting for the tide…
The moon lit up the sky
We stopped taking pictures as they all looked about the same: 24-34’’ fat and feisty. We fished till they stopped biting at around 3 or 4am, I have no idea how many we caught, it was a great night of fishing, they were hitting anything we threw out there (DOA Cal was the favorite though – white), lost a few to sharks and the memorable lost fish was a 40’’ plus snook that jumped off less than a few feet from shore.
The first few fish
I slept till about 08:30 and then we had breakfast, broke camp, and paddled out of the flats with the tide, fished for a bit with a ton of little jacks biting but nothing else, we made it home in record time as it was glass on the bay.
Sunrise
Sea of grass
If it wasn’t for the islands you could not tell where earth and sky met…
I apologize again for the secrecy, but I will announce next time I go out there so someone else can be let in on the spot, you have to go to know…but I’m sure you guys will figure it out, I’m bad at keeping secrets, tight lines
Very nice conditions you had and did not look like the no see ums had you for dinner 8)
