Flamingo and Biscayne Bay by
Ariel Cabrera (11/11/2009)
[Flamingo,FL] Good trout, redfish action. From Snakebight to the Harney, fishing has been good with the exception of a few very windy days. They are hitting softbaits, shrimp, and pinfish under corks. On the shorelines, yozuri and weedless scent baits like fishbites are killers.
