Checking in with some fishing photos, but there should be more to come:

1st trip

Some friends that like to hit the bush ask me to go with them to Noble Hammock Canoe Trail. Noble Hammock is an intimate narrow canoe path winds through a mangrove maze, looping around past Noble Hammock, once a haven for moonshiners in the early twentieth century. My friends had been working on cleanning up a old trail which had not been used for a long time here are some photos. Some of the guys on this trip are trail masters.

2nd Trip was on Fla Bay front side of Flamingo with my brother:

40 fish in total nothing to large, but lots of fun:sea trout, Jacks, Lady Fish

3rd Trip was with my friend Jared deep back country here are some photos:

Lost count of the fish: Snook, Tarpon, Jew Fish

My friend Jared:

Pretty sure jewfish are in the grouper family, and get very big, 100s of lbs.

Wow that trail looks like a nice little mission. Always been keen to follow some like that although its a bit hard to find somewhere around Syd where such is possible :S

Yes the Jew fish is a Grouper they call them Goliath Grouper. On this trip I did not take my Fly Rod base there are a few fish I'm going after on my next trip.

i think we discussed this once before. your jewies and our jewies very different thing. ours look more like a barra or tarpon but not jumpers. fight very hard but not for that long, unless you are on light gear. can grow very big. lovely silvery fish.

Snook is like the Barramundi, or perch. Snook give a very good fight, and they are very smart.

The fight could range from jumpping, long runs, and can fight for a good period of time. The larger once can be bears, and are very smart hard to trick them.

This is the fish with a black line. I have not caught them that big, but I can dream.

Sliver fish Tarpon AKA the Sliver King can get above 200 pounds, and give a great fight. I have had them over 150 pounds, but can never land them.

Jew fish these guys are becoming a problem these fish like Tarpon can not be taken out of the water. They are a nice fight, and I had one eat one of the Snook, and break the line on me.
