Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

High pressure dominating with clear skies, lots of clear water and an extremely low tide made even lower by an easterly breeze. It’s a little dicey getting around at low tide. Sophie Wyman and her Dad Jeff and I went sight fishing for reds with fly rods today. It was Sophie’s first sight fishing trip and by the end of the day we had sighted 15 redfish, 2 snooks, 23 sheepheads, 1 remora, a houndfish, 2 bonnet sharks, 19 raccoons, 3 bull sharks, 4 nurse sharks, 17 sting rays, a sea cucumber, 11 porpoises, 1 sea urchin, 5 diving osprey and a booster rocket. Congratulations to ten year old Sophie for landing her first redfish on a fly, by sight, Everglades Style.
