Fred Sherard from Mississippi and Tom Panek from North Carolina joined me for a half-day trip out of Lanark Village right before Thanksgiving. The guys tallied 10 redfish up to 25 inches on Capt. Mike's 1/4-ounce gold spoons with pink, chartreuse and silver mylar accents. With water temperatures in the upper 60s, these fish are very aggressive and willing feeders.
About Captain Dave Lear
I live to fish and fish to live. I've been working in the marine industry for the last two decades as a magazine writer/editor at titles like Salt Water Sportsman and I'm also a passionate conservation advocate. I worked for the Coastal Conservation Association as the communications director for the Net Ban campaign. In the course of all that I've fished all around Florida, Cuba, the Caribbean and the gulf side of Mexico, and I've earned a membership in the IGFA Billfish Royal Slam Club, yet I'm equally bonkers about whipping a big red on 4-pound-test or putting a fly on a tarpon's nose.
