I am with Sergiu his wife Veronica and there 2 guest, this was a very quick day. We left the Flamingo dock at 745 and got back at 1130. In that time we caught 20 Trout, 20 ladyfish, Jacks, Snappers and 2 Sharks up to 150 lbs. Sergiu also hooked a Tarpon estimated at @ 170 lbs on 10 lb spinning tackle with a 30 lb leader, it lasted about a minute but it was awesome!

I am Flamingo with Jack and Dennis in some really windy conditions. Our first stop was for Tarpon but never saw one, but we did catch a couple Trout up to 23 inches. We moved on and found them but it was difficult to reach them. We ran out to the gulf of Mexico looking for calmer conditions out of the wind. I thru my net and got 1 Herring and a bunch of ballyhoo,s which we fished in a couple of creeks and had some good bites but never got them into the boat, Dennis did catch a couple big Sharks. The conditions got miserable so we headed back to Flamingo.

I am down at Flamingo with my buddy Mitch prefishing for a tournament next weekend. We ran up north looking for something special and caught a bunch of Redfish and a real nice Snook. Snook are so special anymore in the southern part of the Everglades we enjoyed it and released it. We had a good day with wind up to @ 25 mph we had perfect tournament Reds which we were looking for, we'll see next week!
