Thanks to my teammates Doug Van Slyke and Bill Blanton for their outstanding performance in the RedSnook Tournament. We fished hard both days and won the fly fishing championship with six red’s and seven snook. And the big one got away!
There are more red’s showing, most of them are around 20 inches but there are some larger ones as well. We’ve sighted several in the 30 inch class but were unable to feed them. Captain Bruce Miller has done a little better getting two last week on fly With Tom Kukk, 28 and 29 inches. Clear water at low tide, excellent sight fishing, the best bite is still at dawn, the afternoons are too hot! Get out there early and get out of the sun at midday. The snook are shifting around a little, the bait is on the move as fall approaches and we’ll be watching the beaches around Lostman’s River for the next big bite.
