R.I.P.
I am with Kathy Widener, her daughter Jackie and her husband Arron. I received an email from Kathy Widener letting me know her husband Rick had passed. They are one of my longest customers going back around 18 years. Kathy said he had a request of spending eternity in the back country of the Everglades, this is coming from a guy that lives in San Diego. Over the years Kathy was a die hard and Rick was there for here support. He would let her have all the fish but she does well on her own.
This morning Kathy put on a clinic, we found some Tarpon and she had to hook a dozen or so. She landed a few plus a really nice Snook. The emotions seem to get to her and her daughter a little. I took them to a spot where Rick caught his biggest Snook ever while trying to catch a Goliath Grouper. I haven’t caught a fish there in years, the Goliaths were there and we caught 3. This is where Rick will spend eternity! I told Kathy I will check on him back there.
Rick is by Kathy’s side
I am Fishing Flamingo with Bob and Tim today. The morning started out with 20 or so Snook by 9 A.M. including a 34 inch fat SnookThe weather was iffy and the was a giant water spot basically right over Flamingo Marina, (cant get the picture to load).
The next spot was on fire, it started slow and I explained we just have to find them. We did and for 2 hours on every cast the caught a Snook. These aren’t giants but its the best action I could ask for customers. They caught around 100 Snook and it was only 1130.
There was a monster thunder storm north of us which kept us from going any further so I turned back and back towards Flamingo. We found some more fish and a a few Redfish as well. Tim caught a big Snook on a Voodoo Mullet while Bob was hooked up to a Redfish.
Bob sat down to eat lunch and Tim wore them out on a point with good current while he did. This was a great day every spot we stopped at had fish on it.
Fishing continues to be awesome while people are semi quarantined. It’s ok to get out and fish in the Everglades where the air is fresh.
