Wanaflatsfish Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Gotta love the big ol winter shrimp....had some monsters and decided to keep them and eat them vs using them for feeeessssh.... cooked them spanish style....olive oil, in the non - stick pan, garlic, extra virgin olive oil....sear then in the oven at 450 degrees for about 8 minutes..... easy to go to the oven.... Well.....ok, enough fun....now back to reality.....I got the above at Costco over the weekend...... Mike and decided to do the Port of the islands and fish a new area.......WRONG .....DID I SAY WRONG 'We thought, hey, let's do something different So, we thought Port of the Islands just West off Chokoloskee.... Well, a 20 mph N wind, combined with a negative low....and can you say.......clean keg We tried to get up into some the back country and it was a complete disaster....the wind just kept blowing....we made it up to Pumpkin Bay....can you say NO WATER THREE TIMES Anyways, we explored around, hand a nice lunch - thank you Mike - great cuban sandwich and empanadas....but, literally 3 snook after 7 hours of casting..... Until the next time.....well, not in Port of the islands again for a while Gotta love the "epic" days dc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intheslot12 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 "Mike and I" Wait what? Who? Not sure I had anything to do with that decision. Thankfully the advice at the dock probably saved us from a high and dry wait. Still, in my book it was absolutely amazing. Loved the day. Thanks Dino. Best I've seen you working the arties especially on a tough day. Well done! Tight lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
