Hey, Ted. Didn't know you went down there every year. It didn't come up when you came by here, but we have a place down in Sarasota where we spend winters. I met Steve (Fl. Fly) thru the local FFF club there, and talked to him once on the water up in Palma Sola Bay. (He taught me that day not to give other guides any free tips, b/c they'll just kill what they catch with them.) If you want to spend an enjoyable day ff-ing out of a kayak, contact him at Southern Drawl Kayak Outfitters (that still right, Steve?). From all I've heard and seen, he really knows his business and isn't that far from Sanibel. Steve was the Outdoors Editor in our Sarasota paper for years until they decided to eliminate the dept. (Sound familiar?)
I'm always gone by May 1, so never get the chance to try beach snook, but it looks like a blast!
Rick
