The conditions are nice but there are ominous stretches where marine life of all types is noticably absent. There are a few reds though, you have to stay dedicated but you might get a shot, here’s one John Crockett caught today (below,) we also hooked a snook, a nice one, John just played it lightly while we admired it through a couple of runs before giving it just enough slack to release itself. We’re also using intermediate lines and tips for casting into deeper places looking for other species, mackerel, trout, jacks, anything that wants to come out and play.
Hey Ned –
Looks like the drum beat continues. Glad that they seem to be making themselves available to you this winter. These fish look mighty good to me. Anything else cooking? Will there be a mid-winter snook tangle this year?
I know that it has been a tough, bitter winter – but just so you won’t think that you are suffering in solitude – I just scraped the third big snowfall (over 70″ in three events here in DE) off of my driveway, walks, roof and boat. It looks like Buffalo, NY here. More snow is forecast Monday so I’ll close by saying that our May trip can’t come soon enough.
Stay well,
John
