Got out this morning after over 4 hours paddling and no fish I was getting ready to call it a day
On the way back I decided to try one more spot and maybe get a trout first cast near the bar and I hook into a nice red after a short battle she popped off I decided to stick it out and about 10 minutes later things started to turn on
Image
First snook of the day
Next up was a better snook that went crazy running and jumping with lots of head shakes
ImageImage after a fast release
A lil while later I got lucky and also got a nice red
Image
Happy to see her go

Thanks for checking out the report hope everyone has a great weekend

Love it! I caught my first few snook my last trip in FL and fell in love.

I swear those fish have an on/off switch.

Great fishing.
The whole country should be jealous of your warm day. s. Texas is in the 30s and raining for 2 days.

Nice fish ! That first fly looks like something I'd use for surf perch. Maybe these guys look for sand crab eggs too ?

Nice report! So is that your 'fly box'? That is I what I call packing light. A rod, some flies, a paddle and a yak :)

No I just toss them there to dry
I make my own boxes
Art bin size large , spray glue ,6mm foam
Works as good as a cliff box for less then 20 bucks
