It's been a little over three weeks since we came back to Florida for the season. My main priority has been fishing as much of the Gulf waters from Boca Grande Pass to Sanibel Beach as possible. The flats up here are as shallow as Vieques and the distances between them can be much more significant. Last week I picked up a great little boat for running these waters, a 16 foot Mitzi Skiff with a 40 horsepower four-stroke outboard. This is one of the most popular skiffs available and floats in less than 6 inches of water. It's an excellent fly fishing platform and has put me on top of a lot of redfish over the past few days. Best of all, it burns about a gallon of gas per hour. Just like my excellent Beavertail Skiff I use in Vieques, it doesn't cost a fortune to spend a day exploring the flats. I'll have some more fishing reports coming soon.
