Cool Chokoloskee

Sweet report Willy. Everglades city/Chokoluskee is my alltime favorite place to cast a plug. Great to go there w/ a local too. There are lots of hidden little lakes and creeks, Indian Mounds, and plenty of fish. Last time I was down there we released 30+ snook, a couple reds,jacks, snappers, ladyfish, tarpon and goliaths All the fish fell for a crystal minnow yozuri, except for the goliaths and tarpon. We got them fishing fresh lady heads on da bottom. The guy I fish with down there regailed me with stories of the wild times in the seventies, and how dope smugglin had helped him stumble across a bunch of really hidden off the beaten path honey holes.ZGlad to hear you got the opportunity to get down there. It truly is a sweet slice of old Florida, with a colorful history, and a bunch of equally colorful local Crackers.
