Should snook be pressured by Guides in SW FL after massive kill? - My vote is NO. Leave our snook alone. One of the biggest snook kills in SW FL history occurred less than 3 months. There are trout, pompano, plenty of grouper to troll up, TripleTail on the markers, and cobia/permit on the reefs when we can catch a b more...

At 2PM on Tuesday Sanibel Causeway water temp was 58.7 - My charter yesterday totally sucked. I thought finding tripletail under the noon sun would be a slam dunk. Thank goodness I run a 2008 Honda 225BF because we ran seemingly forever (my charter customer wanted a piece of tail for dinner and I argue wit more...

The Real Truth about our SW FL Fishery - The Florida Everglades is below or SOUTH of Ft Myers/Naples, right? Even if you don't know, start shaking your head YES
