Some time in Florida
« on: April 11, 2015, 11:23:41 PM »
Hi Guys


Was fortunate to spend some time in Florida lately and done a trip with one of the guides in Islamorada. Had a few species on the day but got the one I was hoping for...


Due to sharp gill plates and a full moon managed to get one to the boat.


Day starts with a high speed search for live bait





Nets are much longer than we're used to





And finally one close to the boat





And to the leader











Rich the skipper with a good snapper
