SNOOKIE

Posted in around_SoFlo, fishing report on August 8th, 2012 by Scott

Just back from a morning half up the coast.  Every so often things come together and everything goes just right: weather, bait, bites.  This was one of those days.  Thanks to my friend Fly for hosting and showing me how good South Florida Snook fishing can be.

FLY SWATTER

Posted in fishing report on August 23rd, 2011 by Scott

I finally got to shoot a local species now that I’m back full time in SoFlo. Lucky to have friends like Fly to invite me drift a live bait in Jupiter Inlet. We didn’t get nearly the action we were hoping for…but still managed to have fun and hope to do it again very soon before the season changes things around. The morning started out rough after a long spell to catch bait we burn up a circulation pump. Yup, on this skiff, the only circulation pump.

No worries, a quick trip to the marine store and we are back in business a few Sardines lighter. Fly did find the lip of a cuda with his circle hook skills –

And then we found what we were looking for. Not in any great numbers or size, but a nice one just the same.

Thanks for the ride Fly.
