Despite a recent cold front that crept over Sanibel Island, Captain Mike Smith-"King of the Ding"- took us into Ding Darling Refuge. He was well-armed with whitebait, and had linesiders in a frenzy of feeding wherever we went, with some judicious chumming. In a half day trip, I caught and released 14 snook to 8 pounds, and lost just as many. Mike's number is 239-573-FISH. The West Wind Inn (www.westwindinn.com/) was totally intact after last year's 'canes, and provided great lodging. It will be a tad longer for the surf to flatten and warm, so the snook can hit the beaches.
