South Florida salt water!

[Big3d]

I fished out of Naples Florida for about 2 hours Monday. We were supposed to take a charter, but the storm caused rough waters offshore and thr charter cancelled. No biggie, my dad put his boat in the water and we headed to his backwater spots. We caught a variety of Snappers (my first florida fish), Sheepshead (zebra striped ones), and Jacks. I had a blast hangin out with my dad. I'll go back and spend more time on the water asap! Maybe I'll get him back here for a sturgeon or salmon one of these days.

Very cool to see some unique fish here.

Thanks, Big3d!

No Reds, maybe next time. The plan was Grouper, then the storm hit... We are planning a shark charter for my next visit, that should be entertaining.

Sweet. I spent 2 years living near Tampa in the 90's and we manily fished for grouper and reds. Man i miss grouper, so delicious!
Spending time with your Dad is the best part :thumb: Thanks for the report............bringing me back.

Nice, glad I could spark that memory for you.

Tampa in the 90's

You're talking about the temperature, right?

Spent a week and a half there this last summer. Neat place. Didn't get to fish.

Looks like Big3d had a blast.
