Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Fair weather is with us again bringing relief to the relentless winds. The water is clearing rapidly with the northeast wind and sight fishing opportunities are stacking up. The moon is waning into the new phase and the tide is low in the middle of the morning giving us lots of time in the shallows. It’s time to go sight fishing! Dr. Dan Newman and I fished south all the way to Lostman’s River today, sight shooting red’s and snook all the way. We struggled a little with the last gusty winds from this past front but we found fish in every spot we checked. Dan put it all together, sighting both red’s and snook in extremely shallow water. Here’s a picture of Dan with one of the red’s he caught from a secret spot near Lostman’s. We’ll be hunting sleepers again before the week is out.
