Happy new years everyone! This is my first post of the new year and it is starting off awesome!

We have been doing great with the trout, sharks, and even some redfish and snook. The snook are moving into the canal systems and we have been targeting them at night with live shrimp. Tons of mangrove snappers are around these snook lights and tonight we are going to put the video cam on night vision and try to get video of it if I can get them to hit a fly. Cant wait.

The sharks are abundant on the flats right now and we are pulling 80 pound monsters out of 2 foot of water with live ladyfish. There is so much going on I have to force myself to get off the boat some days!

Here are the pics and I have a ton of new videos as well!dscn0312.jpg
