Paul - great territory there, one of my favorite areas to fish ... the cold weather always makes it a bit tougher there ... have to wait out for a couple of warm days to kick the fish into action ... but sounds like you had fun ... a lot of the guides fish the lights at night for snook there ...

... also slightly north of Bonita Springs in the Sanibel - Pine Island/Charlotte Harbor area ... if you are still in the area and want to check out another captain, let me know ... happy to shoot names and numbers ...

Enjoy

A 19 footer with a deuce and a quarter....

Sounds niiiice...

Oh yeah, BTW...

Absolutely would appreciate some names of other guides. The guys we used were good and we have no complaints but it's always wise to get some names of some others. I am leaving tomorrow but coming back next month and again in March.
