Let me start by saying I am coming off of one of the best weeks of redfishing I have had in a long time. I think the hurricanes blew in some redfish. The flats have been loaded with snook, redfish and trout. We had 4 Indian River slams this week. My friend Capt. Scott Cormier the new owner of Southern Angler caught a 42 inch red this week on what else but a DOA shrimp. That is an impressive fish anywhere, but especially in Stuart! The bad news is, it is inevitable that the flats will slow soon once winter kicks in and the focus around Stuart will turn to pompano, spanish mackerel, bluefish, and ladyfish. If one still wants to target redfish it is still a very good bite on the shallow flats north of Fort Pierce. I have a shallow draft boat on order and it should be in next week, just in time to sight fish reds in very shallow water (6 to 8 inches). I fished in Mosquito Lagoon today with my good friend Capt. Paul Bergeron and we had a wonderful day casting to tailing reds with the flyrod. We caught 6 fish all on the Borski Bonefish Slider. There is nothing I love more then casting a fly to tailing reds. I really had a chance today to sit back and enjoy the Indian River Lagoon, I am extremely lucky to have such a great office. My wife is due any day now with our 2nd son so I will keep all of you posted on our new arrival."
