Undeterred, I pitched it back out and ended up catching about 4-5 more peacocks, but they were all on the smallish side... They loved the action of the gold spoon in that dirty water. After a little while I decided to move on... BTW as a side note there is construction going on on 41 and it is a pain to get through... On the good side It seems they are making it 2 lanes each way, at least the first bit of it.
Now the sad part... The whole day I didn't see a single LMB which I used to catch many of them before in those waters. That upsets me, but it is what it is. Given my lack of success and my need to drive I made up my mind to hit chokoloskee. The drive was wet and when I made it a storm loomed and the wind was kicking. Using the same spoon I tossed it up current and let it drift and bounce its way back down through the ripping outgoing tide. After about 3 casts I got clobbered, followed by a decent fight... and up comes this solid grover! I was pretty happy and kept at it, I ended up catching and releasing 2 more... Unfortunately, no redfish and no trout which is why I went over there... Considering I was only pitching lures I can't complain much... I would love to learn to fish that area since it looks sooo promising.
Finally, pics... Sorry for my rambling, I used to be a little better at reports.
