6/15/09 Florida Bay Fire

Its been hot out there. The temperature has been blazing hot and the fishing has been on fire. The weather for the past few days has been good with mainly clear skies and not a drop of wind making for some excellent sightfishing. The redfish have been up on the flats tailing, sitting and pushing wakes on the flats all day. The snook have been sitting in the potholes waiting for a mullet to come by and hammer it. Yesterday we had some good shots at tarpon between 30-80lb but we could not seal the deal. In between we have been catching plenty of trout with some nice snappers mixed in. This week the hot bait has been the 3" gulp shrimp rigged weedless for the fish on the flats or on a 1/4 ounce jig for the fish in deeper water. Remember when sightfishing the key to capitalizing is to make your your bait look as natural as possible and being as stealthy as can be. The fishing is hot right now, give me a call and lets go fishing! Mike and Dick caught snook on almost every cast! {%image_id=10400%} {%image_id=10401%} Ken with some overslot redfish {%image_id=10405%} {%image_id=10402%} {%image_id=10403%} Rey with a nice redfish {%image_id=10411%} Getting some bow time! {%image_id=10404%} TightKnots Capt.
