Fishing Update:
January 24th, 2011
(PLEASE REMEMBER TO REFRESH THIS PAGE)
This time of year white bait is hard to come by, so fishing with shrimp is the only alternative. And it's working! The one thing about shrimp, is it doesn't discriminate. You can catch any and everything. The variety of fish to be had both in-shore and near-shore has been at a personal all time high this past week. From redfish to snapper, jacks to puffer fish, sheepshead, pompano, flounder, trout , wrash and fish I'm afraid to say I don't even know the names for, that's how large the variety has been.
A 20 lb black drum was the top of the heap. Unfortunately in the wonder of the moment the camera was no where to be found. But the memory is fresh, and the size keeps growing with each telling of the story. :)
See you out there.

Winter Fishing in Southwest Florida
November & December in the South.
And the cooler weather is finally here, all the way at the end of south. Everyone and everything just seems to have a little more pep and energy when it finally cools off. Not quite as cool as those freezing temperatures up further north though! Quite some early tastes of old man winter this year.
Which is why I'm feeling that our seasonal visitors will be making their way down here to comfortable coolness with plenty of sunshine mixed in, sooner rather than later.
The fishing, as you would expect is also starting to pick up. Not so much languishing in the deep underwater shade. And more active fish make for some fun times on the water, that's for sure. With the Holidays rounding the bend, and the fishing picking up, this is my favorite time of year to be out.
See you out there - my favorite place to be - on the water!
