Thanks for reading it guys. If you get a chance, don't pass up an opportunity to experience this area. We are blessed to have this incredible wilderness in our state. The fishing ain't too bad either...

Camp Lonesome by solo canoe.

I just finished writing my trip report. We did an 8 night 9 day trip to the middler rivers area of the Everglades from Chokoloskee. This was the first time I have ever used a solo canoe for a trip that long. I have also sold my kayak. It is mostly my thoughts and experience of using a canoe vs. kaya...

My New Years resolution is not to be jealous of Cordell.

But I am.

I don't fish tournaments either. But I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you have a great time. Are you taking stitch with you? I've got a great picture of you and stitch from last weekend that I will send you tomorrow.

Those Biscayne Bay trout are sure tasty. I don't even keep Everglades trout anymore after tasting those. That one you caught is biggest I have seen out there. Do you tip your lures with shrimp? Permit: This is the only fish I have not caught from a paddle craft. I did hook one and it straightened th...

redfishin, I am on my mobile so excuse typos. tides will be a HUGE factor with your connectors, shark, lostmans and broad. these are deep and powerful tidal rivers. mileage wise looks good. it may be better to do loop from choko to broad using a connector river or two instead of coming in from flami...

Even with my eyeglasses, hat, towel over my head I can't get a good picture using the cameras that have those LCD screens. I thought it was Blackpoint. Those bones just cruise up and down that western shoreline. I bet you've figured that out already and know what seasons work best in each area. Neve...

Very nice and impressive fish. You should zoom in more detail of the shoreline so I can figure out where you were fishing :wink:

What camera are you using for the video?

Great pictures! That has got to be my favorite loop route. It is a spooky site but after a few times there it becomes very appealing. That river is beautiful especially as the sun is setting and the dolphins swim by. Lot's of great fishing at the mouth and middle oyster bars and islands there. A tou...

Redfish'n you went by yourself? Reason I ask is how did you set up to take pics of yourself with fish? Nice pics and report as usual.

Have a safe trip Perch, I'll be here when you get back so we can do some fishing together. Have a great christmas!

I want to see a mangrove snapper and that mojarra you caught, LOL!

Hope next year is yields even more impressive results!

The video is difficult to watch and the pics don't show up as well as in a regular slide show. I say, leave the jingle bells and nix the santa guy.

That must've been fun on fly! Krash is right about the Cuda on topwater being a blast. I have tried to try cuda on the grill and took a small one to the cleaning station. Why do they smell so foul? I just threw it to the water and the birds ate it. Yuck! But I guess if there was hunger and nothing e...

Redfishin I finally met you in person! Yes, I paddle a Hemlock Kestrel but that's a women's specific or very small guy solo. The trip was awesome, I was testing my canoe with an 8 night, 9 day camping gear/water/food weight load. It handled very well given the afternoon 25knot gusts in those back ba...

if wenonah is what you have access to, look at vagabond and prism. make sure you get it with the footbrace option. these are sit and switch boats mainly designed for sitting with occasional kneeling in rough water. you will need a carbon bentshaft (zre) to get max enjoyment from boat. I don't know w...
