Homeward Bound

Well the 3 weeks have finally come to an end and a great time has been had here on Anna Maria Island.

Rods were all cleaned and packed away when I took the last stroll along the beach to Bean point. The water was low enough to get out to what's left of the sandbar, about 2 feet of crystal clear water covering and area at least the size of a couple of football pitches.
We were soon followed by a shoal of permit who were following behind and picking up offerings from the sand that we had disturbed, if we stopped they just kept swimming round our feet.

We spotted some nice snook cruising through the back of the waves by and managed to get quite close to them before they darted of.

All of this and no rod to fish with, still it's all stored in the memory bank for when I'm back on this beautiful island in September.

Next task is getting some serious practise in with the double handed rod ready for the next trip after atlantic salmon.

Tight Lines to all fishing this weekend.
