islamorada

drove down to the keys to get the boat worked on. rowe, eileen, and i headed over to robbie's to feed the tarpon while we were waiting for the boat to be fixed. thanks again to tom and brian at islamarine for fitting me in and doing great work!

birds

going thru a 'no wake/manatee zone' and i turn around and see this on my mother-in-law's head. here are some other pics of pelicans as well.

snook

finally roped a solid snook.  with the overcast conditions, the only reason i found this fella was because he and his boys were busting bait in the back of a cove.
jesse  -  sorry it took me so long to get a sage reel in a shot for ya
alec - caught him on your chartreuse bendback.  the ladyfish had eaten it so many times that when i casted to this fish the fly only had some thread and about three saddlehackles left.

10,000 islands

zip gunning

i apologize for the lack of photos the last few days. sarah's folks just arrived and i have been fishing with her dad.  here are a few from a family outing a few days earlier.

skunk ape

today i had 2 goals: 1) find a new high tide redfish spot. 2) get a sighting of the skunk ape

results:  a redfish spot full of big fatties... still no skunk ape.

tripletail

 had a blast the last few days fishing with alec. we fished poppers for jacks, tailing reds, laid-up snook, and crab pots for tripletail.
