Throwing the cast net, Sanibel & Captiva Islands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m looking forward to the spring …<\/p>\n

With the exception of the winter, when we mostly use shrimp, bait fishing is a big part of our routine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Cast net full of bait fish, Sanibel & Captiva.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pretty much every morning at sunrise for much of the year, seven days a week, I\u2019m out throwing the cast net for bait fish, generally catching thread fins and pin fish, somewhere on the bay or the gulf, near Sanibel, Captiva or North Captiva.<\/p>\n

We use thread fins day in and day out fishing for snook, redfish, etc.<\/p>\n

And a big pin fish under a float can be very attractive to a tarpon at the right time of the year.<\/p>\n

Some days it is easy finding the bait and some days it is difficult \u2026 and it can be grind. \u00a0But there is also a timelessness, rhythm and peacefulness in the solitude and beauty of throwing and pulling in the cast net at sunrise.<\/p>\n

Going to do some Valentines Day fishing tomorrow!<\/p>\n

Fair winds and following seas,<\/p>\n
