Tight Lips and Tough Trips! And, a Great Week! - I actually managed to get in three trips this week, which honestly is about all of the July heat my old body can handle. Fishing in the Sound is tough. Tight lips are definitely making for tough trips.

Fishing has been "HOT" in Southwest Florida - In one word HOT was the best way to describe fishing over the week. And not so much the fish bite but the heat. Flat calm days with little or no breeze and the lack of our daily thunderstorms have really heated things up during the mid day. Fishi more...
