Capt. Rick Stanczyk fished the last few days after our recent cold front in the Florida Keys backcountry, from west of flamingo out around the cape area and further northwest.?? It's quite a run for an islamorada fishing charter taking over an hour to get to.?? The recent front we had chilled the water down considerably, but pushed many fish out from the gulf and further up north into some of the creeks and canals in search of deeper warmer water.?? On 2/14/12 I fished Nilson and his wife from Sweden.?? We caught 10 snook and lost a couple nicer ones.?? Lots of redfish too about 2 dozen, and even caught a baby goliath grouper which I have not seen any of those since the cold snap of 2010 that killed them off along with many of the snook.?? We ended the day catching trout on artificial GULPs.?? Today I fished the Levor's who have fished out of Bud n' Mary's for many years, mostly with Capt. Paul Ross on the Relentless.?? We did the same thing, but today the snook were much bigger!?? We caught 5, some nice fish 10 lbs and a little over, lots of fun on light spin.?? Had almost 2 hours of incoming tide today, whereas yesterday we didn't have any, arriving at roughly the same time.?? We last about 5 others that we pulled hooks on, cut lines on, and lost in the trees.?? But that's snook fishing!?? The bait of choice was a large horn hooked shrimp, though the big ones are scarce.?? We also caught a couple off of pinfish on the bottom.?? We caught several redfish as well, and a small lemon shark.?? Had a big 200 lb lemon inside one creek eat one of our reds, and pulled another one away from him before he got it.?? Got some decent slot size fish today and saved a couple for dinner.?? Caught a flounder as well, plus several mangrove snappers and jacks in another creek, and again ended the day with some trout.?? Great news for our Islamorada flats fishing.??
