Flew down to Naples and visited my friend. He has a PA 12 and I rented a PA 12 from Naples kayak center for 3 days. We fished 3 different areas. The first was isle of capris near Marco island. Neither of us had ever fished there before and it took us a while to find some fish. We did end up getting a couple reds, trout, jacks and lady fish. All of the fish were small. The second day we fished near Everglades city. I had a good day there getting over 10 snook, 2 reds, 3 jacks, 2 mangrove snappers, 3 or 4 lady fish and a sail cat. All of the fish were small except 1 of the jacks. My friend also got trout but I couldn't get one. The next day we fished Estero Bay. A cold front came in the night before and fishing was slow. I got a Red and Jack early and then there was a long spell of nothing until I finally found 7 small snook and a Lady fish. It was good to get away and get some action and some warm tempstrout.jpg jack.jpgred.jpgsnook.jpg

Looks like a fun trip.
The variety of fish species accessible by kayak in FL's tidal waters never ceases to amaze me.
I'm looking forward to a December trip there myself.Mark

That was a nice variety of fish. You never know what kind of fish will show up when you fish those Gulf waters.John Veil
