Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Bill and I skied off to Lostman’s River this morning an hour before daylight. We are plotting a rendezvous with a big snook who’s home we discovered during redsnook practice. She wasn’t there this morning so we checked a couple of our secret spots. There are a lot of red’s all of a sudden. I mean,  we saw a lot of red’s. One big, loosely organized herd that had at least a hundred redfish in it. This was in shallow water, less than one foot deep, where they were plainly visible. We had numerous chances at both red’s and snook, sight shots with fly rods, and some moments of intense, multiple fish action.
