Look at them buggs!!!
Tiny critters, do you use an optiviser to tie them?

Snook are a blast.
We have stripers in the rivermouths now.

Flys are addictive.
I had a 7 .6 rod at the farm when friends came down they wanted to try it in the pond for bass.
I had no flys but we took a #6 brim hook and some jute/burlap carpet backing to craft a minnow.
We took turns with that little buggy whip catching 1 to 3 lb bass for about 3 hours. A great memory of old friends and good times.
Just a fish, line, and a fake bug.

We fish the jettys on tide change with 9 ft custom surf rods. They hit like a freight train

 

[Cracker Boy]

I make a custom crappie jig.

Snook get big.

Everything in saltwater has teeth, spines, poison, and a bad attitude.

We throw a lot of plastics on a leadhead or jig.

I may have to get a hip replaced so lately i have not been out on my Hewes chasin fish.

Life is gettin better if you can go catch a few snook.

My father lives in Davie just outside of Ft.Lauderdale. My cousins live in Stewart. My grandparents used to own a couple properties in Ocala.
They’re always posting pics n stuff. I’d like to catch a big ole tarpon on a fly rod or catch some mahi mahi. Those dolphin would look awesome on a dinner plate or on the wall

 

[Bilge Rat]

You take a fresh Mahi fillet, the smaller ones are great a little oil salt and pepper in a hot skillet. Throw it in there and watch the lower half next to the skillet turn white then flip.
That is good eatin.
You can find them around anything floating then cast to them. Big fun on light tackle.
