Mangroves

Hiking the mangrove swamp at Weedon Island can be truly surreal.......

Redfish at Weedon Island

Went for a hike with Julie at Weedon Island over the weekend. It was more of a scouting/photo trip than fishing expedition so of course we saw a lot of activity. Redfish were making big humps in the shallows, foraging for food and were mixed in with some rather large mullet in the calm water. There were loud crashes back in the 'groves out of site, but can only imagine snook chasing bait. Black Mangrove Fiddler crabs were in large numbers along the branches, so a dark colored crab pattern would have been good me thinks.

Of course, i didn't take one iota of fishing gear with me. If I had, we wouldn't have seen anything.
