We put the boat in at Flamingo in Everglades National Park, both days. What a beautiful place! It was a maze of canals and Islands full of marine life around every corner. There were fish jumping in every direction big and small, birds flying up from all around. We even saw five or six pink flamingos standing on an island. I'd never seen that before, it was quite breathtaking!
What and experience these two days of fishing were I got to fish with great guys who love this sport as much as I. Rick was such a nice guy, he was exactly the guy you see on television.
Now to the actual fishing. 40-60 pound Tarpon are nothing like largemouth bass, man what a fight! We were using mullet and pin fish as bait, drifting them with floats and free lining them. We must have caught at least seven or eight and trust me after one your arms feel it! Those fish are crazy, skyrocketing into the air shaking there heads only a few feet from the boat, "UNBELIEVABLE"! The snook fight wasn't too bad either. We caught two of them on the first day as well. The second day was more a snook and redfish day. My kind of fishing! I was right at home. Accurate casts and proper lure presentation was key. Rick said it was a little slower than usual but we had a great time. I guess we got about eight redfish and four or five snook to the boat.
