Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Steady winds from the east diminishing slightly and a shore breeze has been developing in the afternoon. We’ve been sightfishing snook down south using light and ultra-light spinning and bait casting rigs with topwater plugs and shallow runners, floating plugs with a short lip. There is still not an abundance of whitebait although glass minnows are beginning to ball up on the outside islands as well as the backcountry. The snook are skinny from the winter but they’re long, we’ve gotten quite few in the 27 – 29 inch class, casting to visible fish along the oysters at low tide. Tomorrows weather is looking good, we’re hunting sleepers with fly rods all day.
