Flamingo - Florida Bay

Another great weekend has passed and the fishing has been great. Despite one day of rain, for the most part just about every trip we have had some great weather as well. We took advantage of this weather and good times were had putting all of our gear to the test with some of the toughest fish around. We sight fished shallow flats, fished banks for snapper and grouper, runoffs, creeks and plugged away at shallow mangrove shorelines. We mainly fished artificial with Gulp shrimp on a jig head or Jerkbaits(Gulp, Bass Assasins, Exudes) rigged weedless.

Fall is around the corner and that means massive schools of bait fish with game fish right after them having a feast. Usually anything that mimics a finger mullet will do the trick.

On another day, my cousin Anthony and good friend Ken joined me for some intense sight fishing. We started the morning catching fish and kept at it all day. We caught numerous redfish with one at 35", some nice snook, trout and a nice snapper all on artificial.
