Got out with Pierre and the crew from Sweden Martin, Magnus, and Fredrick! We fished a full day in the backcountry. Caught some bait early which we had to work a little for but got what we needed. Snook fishing was fair, not a red hot bite but a steady pick. We fished probably half a dozen spots and caught 15 or so. Also got a nice juvenile tarpon and missed one more! The last couple hours we went on the outside and eventually got into a few spots with some nice reds! Probably caught a dozen or so, lost one big 15-20 lb one at the boat unfortunately. Also caught the same juvenile goliath about 5 times – he had a line in his mouth so we knew it was him! But all in all a decent day with steady action and good enough to keep 4 guys busy! 1 for 2
