Just got back from fishing the upper reaches of Florida Bay with Captain Leon Davis (www.reelranger.com) out of the newly-constructed Dove Creek Lodge (www.dovecreeklodge.com) in Key Largo. Capt. Leon expertly got us out of the North wind onto muddy warming Florida Bay bottom. The snook and the redfish were there in good numbers as he poled us around in his new 19 foot Ranger Cayman.
The waters simply were too cool for the fish to be aggressive, though I managed a couple of half-hearted strikes from chilly snook. We saw loads of fish yesterday afternoon: all they needed was a little heat. This was a day where quality- not quantity- set the tone: good fellowship with Captain Leon, beautiful lodgings, all in the natural splendor of the Everglades backcountry. Stay tuned for the entire story and details of this experience...
