What did you think about Eric and the skiff? Flyfishing is like Bowhunting, a giant pain in the butt and also the ultimate rush when it all works!

South Padre Snook Trip

He took that skiff over an exposed grass bed that I was a hundred percent positive we would get bogged down. Nahh.... no problem. Then he took us on a flat that was no joke 3-4” deep with the tide out and we floated across it. That thing was the cats meow for sure. He said the only skiff that poles better and goes skinnier is the New Water Stilt. He says the Chittum is better in all other aspects. Eric is a super cool dude, he was getting straight mad at those fish for not eating. He worked his butt off getting me shots, and absolutely loves that fishery. He is nuts over Snook fishing and about those fish being there in numbers. I’d fish with him again every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Temperamental - cool down period with a High Pressure build, shut them off. On the warm-up, they should get more engaging. They stack up like mad in winter deep water, which puts all the marbles into a very predictable location. But......they literally shutdown at real low 60 water temps. Small snook start to die at 57 and all snook start to die at 55 degrees.
Sure hope a south wind warm up kicks off and you can get into them!
Skinny drifting freely - flats boats do it like nothing! Best rides for silent flats stalking!
