I just got back from Islamorada last night after fishing 2-1/2 days with my friend Greg Peterson. We mainly targeted bonefish, and we found quite a few of them tailing and pushing on the beginning of the incoming tide. Conditions were all over the road...calm and clear at times with extra spooky fish to windy with rain squalls the next minute. We did manage to each catch a fish, though they were on the small side. I went 1 for 2 and my buddy went 1 for 3. The tan snapping shrimp got all the bites. Any of the bigger flies got total rejection and sent the fish running on the first strip.

Overall, we had a great trip and I am looking forward to my next trip down in a little less than a month. Greg's fish is the one that has him in the shot. The bonefish that I caught is just the close-up of the fish.
