Speckeled Trout cooperated, the Red fish and Snook were elusive.

Two friends and myself went out in the Back Country yesterday looking to score some nice Trout, Redfish and Snook. The Trout cooperated but the other species, although there on the Flats, were elusive. We hooked up with four nice Trout, two of which made it to my dinner table, the other two were released. My fishing companions were Capt'n Dave Perkins, a Back Country Guide out of Tavernier Fl. and his friend Boris from Chicago. It is quite apparent that all three of us share the passion for fishing and always get pumped up at the prospect of catching some really nice fish. It's nice having company that shares those feelings of the chase, catch and then the release.

 

We took my boat, left about noon and after exploring several fishing locations, catching some fish, by the time we arrived back at the dock it was quite dark and the Sketters were doing their thing. Quick goodbyes were exchange and we all agreed to get together soon the repeat the process.

 

Here are a few picture and videos that depict parts of our trip.

By the way the music over on the first video was done to protect sensitive ears from some rather frustrating language from the competitive fisherman.
