REDS ON TOP, ALL OVER
By CaptGregg, 11/16/09

Caught these on a white Spook near McArdle Island Saturday night. Our fish really like the topwaters lately but that's kind of a pain since we've got a lot of grass on the surface. The water is getting beautifully clear around Matlacha and Pine Island these days and sight casting is as good as it gets right now. We've also got great tailing tides in the mornings and afternoons all week. >>Forum Thread & More Photos

NIGHT SNOOK SHOWCASE
By fishbrain85, 11/08/09

The fishing has been so good the past week for huge snook. We decided against all better judgement, and braved the high winds upon southwest Florida. The Boat was splashed a little early in the night. With the wind blasting across the bay, we pounded through solid chop wondering if this really was a good idea… >>Forum Thread & More Photos

MATLACHA SLAM
By CaptGregg, 10/23/09

Had my buddy Bill H. from Virginia out all week. Caught a slam in Matlacha pass on Wednesday, but wanted to get one with all legal size fish so we headed out to the Pine Island Sound flats on my buddy Capt. Joe's boat from Flamingo Bay. First fish was a good trout that hit a Zara Spook. >>Forum Thread & More Photos

AWESOME COBIA BITE
By Feeding Frenzy, 10/24/09

We knew after the water temps fell last week after our first major cold front of the Fall Season, that the Cobia would be arriving any day. We headed out into the Gulf in search of the Cobie's on a couple shipwrecks within sight of land. We were not disappointed! First stop in 40 feet of water we found the wreck stacked with bait. Nothing up top or in the mid depth ranges, so deep we went! Jigs with curly tails were the ticket. Cobia in the 32-33" range, right at the limit. We elected to release these guys as we had plans of heading out a little deeper to see what was lurking in the deeper depths… >>Forum Thread & More Photos
