I spent a couple of days guiding Missouri anglers Bill and Eric. It was nice to take a break from Naples fishing guide duties and head over there for a change of pace! They were new to beach Snook fishing, and I was eager to show them what it was all about. The conditions played a huge role in this trip. While the weather itself was great, for some reason an abnormally high swell was running both days, hurting the bite bigtime. Of course the marine forecasts didn't mention this! Despite that, we found some windows of fishable water. The fish we found were stubborn, but we got some to go. Careful presentations with lighter leaders and just simply finding the right fish were key. By the way, the mullet run was in full swing in the area the day before I met my clients, but it dissappeared when I had my clients out! Always works out like that doesnt it? Anyway, great guys and I look forward to fishing with them again in June.
