Went out this morning to do some fishing on my own. As a guide I tend to get in a rut every now and then by fishing the same areas that tend to produce fish more often than not. As a guide that is what we have to do, so many time we overlook areas that we haven't fished in a while because we don't want to test it out with a paying customer, so today was my day to fish some places that I don't get the opportunity to explore enough. unfourtunatly the water was very high and milky from a storm that was producing a big swell and pushed a large amount of water into the Indian River, so conditions where not prime but we went anyway. The day produced lots of Ladyfish and Jacks and a few Snook out of the mangroves from areas I haven't fished in a while.

Sailfish!!!

Great day of live chumming! We had a couple suprise visitors. Landed one of two we hooked. A Sailfish eating a bait a couple feet behind the boat really gets the blood pumping. If it dosn't your not alive or really don't like fishing. Thanks to my buddy Capt. John Meskauskas for shooting the photos while he was next to us, he ended up hooking and landing one as well.
