Why didn't I do a post on my Florida flats day trip sooner? Because it didn't go well that's why. It seemed like a great day, warm, nice and sunny, tide coming in, fish moving - but 25 mph winds. It was really difficult to sight fish through the 1 ft chop let alone put a fly where I wanted it. I had shots at fish - and I missed takes. But basically I landed one small redfish and a flounder on the clouser. It was cool but not getting fish is tough.
The next day a couple of guys from the wedding and I took a 65ft charter out 15 miles into the Gulf. It was simple and we caught lots of fish - mainly gray snapper and porgey but there was all sorts of crazy stuff brought up from the bottom.
Other than that I'm just tying flies and waiting for the Fly Fish Film Tour Friday February 1st. We have 20 guys going - should be fun - maybe I'll win a new rod.
I think it would've been a great time! Now go and win that rod....
