I I was down in Flamingo with photographer/author Jan Maizler and Alan Williams this weekend. The plan was to sight fish up on the flats. First thing in the morning, we ran into a school of about 200 tailing over slot redfish. Jan made a great cast to the front of the school and immediately hooked up, but ended up losing that fish after a short battle. The next few hours were spent casting to some very finicky tailing redfish that refused everything we threw at them. We hit one last flat and were rewarded with some big snook on top water. We ended the day with 8 snook all sight fished with 3 of them being over slot fish. Sometimes hard work does pay off!
