Spooky Redfish in Florida
I flyfished with a guide near Titusville, Florida. Fun trip!
I cast to many Redfish, Black Drum, stingrays, seatrout, hardhead catfish, and 1 sheepshead.

Most had already spooked by the time we saw them, and weren't about to strike a fly. I hooked 2 Redfish and landed one of them.

I dropped flies to a number of Hardhead Catfish, but the only one that hit was on a longer cast, and I didn't know the fish was there.

I also caught a small Spotted Seatrout and foul-hooked a Stingray that swam over the top of my fly.
Saw dolphins, manatees, and gators, including this big one that was laying on the bottom before swimming away:
