We then lived next to each other in Seven Acres in Tavernier, Fl. Motoring from the dock before light in the SBT (nickname for my home made tunnel hull flats boat), we were heading for Jimmy’s lake near Flamingo. Eric riding and give navigation directions from the casting platform myself steering the Yamaha Inshore 90 with the tiller.

Our trip to Jimmy’s lake takes about an hour or more, today was no different. We arived around 8 am and began the fish finding phase of the trip. Then at 8:30AM the angle of the sun was just right for the reds to see the bottom and the magic began. Tails poped up all around us, and a there was a steady stream of fishing cruisng the shore from the east headed are way.

We took turns, I would pole and Eric would place his fly in front of a tailing red, there were so many to choose from. As soon as the fish was near the boat the Swap began, the poler would climb down, help with release, the catcher would drop his fly rod and man the poling platforn, one or two hauls and the fly was placed, the fish stuck (sometimes 2 or 3 competing for the same fly, this went on until we had each landed 10 or more redfish then Eric said “Bill it’s a good omen let us leave them biting” and and we did. Only then did we look around and saw the numerous boats watching us but because of our ability to only draft 4.5″ they had to keep there distance.

Eric later talked to some of the anglers watching and I’ll tell that story in an other post. It was truly the best fishing day of my life. God Bless you Eric, Jonah, Aydel, and Alfred.
