Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Clear water, gusting Northeasterly winds, and steady barometer. Combine that with a waning moon and a low tide at mid morning for what promises to be some excellent fishing this coming week. Captain Lee and I went out on recon this morning and saw a lot of nice red’s and snook. We also saw quite a few bonnet and blacktip sharks and managed to hook two of them but the battles were brief as we had no wire on board for a bite tippet. There were several others we might have hooked, (we were hooking one, getting bitten off, quick drawing another fly rod and firing from the hip.)  Lee pulled my redfish rig out but I had to stop him because the “Hallowed Redfish Fly” was attached. We are both busy tying shark flies.
