Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Days of strong northwest winds have pushed the tarpon out but the change is upon us. Light southerly winds predicted for the next few days, coupled with the full moon should have them back in here any minute. Jeff Wyman and Dr. Pete Millet and I fished Lostman’s yesterday. We were hoping for tarpon but had to settle for a dozen snooks. We found a backcountry lagoon near the headwaters that was full of big snooks. Big, as in 15 to 20 pounds. They kind of took us by surprise, layed up in the sunshine on the wrong side of the boat and we were unable to hook one. We are watching the conditions for another go at them.
