What a way to end my 2024 final Dragonfly charter with Captain Mike Moran! Despite breezy conditions which actually felt nice with the 80+ temps, we went off into the shallows to cast pilchards and greenbacks to hopefully hungry fish. And they were hungry especially once the tide changed.
There were many boils, several stolen baits, a few lost on the way in, but my final count was three 30 – 32″ redfish, two beautiful snook (one over and one slot which I declined to keep), one crevalle jack and one nice 19″ spotted trout which went home with me. On light tackle and in shallow water, these fish really fight hard especially the jack!
What an end to my 2024 SWFL fishing adventures! Thanks again to Captain Mike of Dragonfly Charters.
