Mike M back in town for a day in the marsh with some slot redfish and some shorts.

Winter Time

Ole man winter has set in on the Nature Coast and it’s been a long while since a good cold like the one over Christmas. Some mention 2016 /17 mine goes back to Christmas 89 big fish kill down through Clearwater.. Now as for dead fish I’ve seen some in Ozello , catfish, snook of all sizes and bait fish. but a big none in Yankeetown… It definitely was a grind first few days after the spell but the fish have rebounded and are hungry.. Jeff and Gage in from CO had a good day in the Ozello backcountry with some slot reds and some spunky shorts.. Now Todd had one of the grind days and he gave it a good shot with some short reds and a nice 24″ snook and snooklets ( Survivors) As always some pics from personal trips.

Nice slot for Jeff
