Sanibel 7/21-7/23

Post by joenofishhere »

Fished the beaches on Sanibel in the mornings the 21st through the 23rd with a few of my old friends who don't fish much. Caught some greenbacks to make things easy and had fun pitching live baits to Snook the days we were there. Ended up with about a dozen Snook from 18-30" and a 21" Redfish kicker, with quite a few breakoffs fishing 20lb flouro with inexperienced anglers. Both my friends got there biggest fish of their lives, and first Snook, and one got his first Red. Pictures of the biggest Snook of the trip and the Red.

Headed that way starting tonight (driving from NY).

Will be there Saturday, hoping to get a couple fish for the table while we're there.
