Miss Me?......
 

How's it going S-B? I was bummed I missed plug fest this year. I can only imagine some of you must be dying for the return of the striper. Even with all the great fishing here, I still miss New England. Here's a little catch up on the last two months.

Capt. Alan came down for a show and we did a 3 day camp n fish everglades trip with Capt Joey Leclair for test his new 5" pintail in FL. It was an awesome trip with some decent fish considering the weather we had. If you never done a trip like this I recommend it. We saw 5 boats in 3 days and 170 miles of travel. AWESOME!!!!

bare with me lots of pictures lol

....

I also had a good friend of mine come down and wanted to catch his first Peacock Bass. Of coarse I took him lol

Love these things! love the wild iguanas too

Such cool wildlife here. The gators are everywhere and only time before I get eaten

Up n Close!

The american Crock

The sunsets and sunrises are awesome as well!

The freshwater has been good as well. Haven't chased any monster largemouth yet, but still have managed to land a few decent fish. Love the exotic species like the oscars, pletco and cichlids...... Best of the fresh has been the snook! Especially when they are eating frogs over the pads tended for largemouth!!!!!!

I enjoy this close to home fishing along the canals

My biggest Bowfin so far. Great fighters they are!!!!

Here's a few reds from a couple days ago!

Is this your backup file storage location for FB?:rotf2:

No really, great shots RoyL.

,,,,

This fish was from 3 days ago and a personal best for me. The massive snook ate a Shimano waxwing in the surf. It was awesome watching these big snook swim thru schools of bait and feed when the small jacks would rush in and start the blitz. This all happened at my feet. Fish was 29-1/2lb on the Boga!

LOL I know im sorry, so many pics to post and I only picked a few. A lot of guys aren't on FB and I wanted to share. Hope you all enjoy them and ill see most of you when the season starts along the ditch!

Couldn't let you sneak back in without a razz of some kind....must still be thunderstorming in FL otherwise you'd be out fishing and not posting pics on SB.

Awesome shots

Hahaha! I deserve it! No it's a beautiful day. I save the weekends for the wife. Regroup and tackle maintenance. Plus I hate the crowds lol


Thanks John!

The benefits of camping/fishing in the Everglades is that you can reach areas that they day-boaters have a tough time getting to because it takes so long from the ramps at Flamingo and Chokoloskee ... and you can extend your fishing hours tremendously ... we typically camped on sites up inside on the ground rather than the chickees, although we always had to hang our food from the trees do to racoons, rats, etc. Love winter camping in the Everglades ... lots of fun. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Roy, thanks for posting, I'm wicked jealous

Awesome stuff, would trade all the stripers in the world for catching reds and big snook like that any day.Man do they pull drag.Might actually think of relocating myself soon, Clearwater area.

Thanks Roy. Enjoyed it. Coming up in June?
