Easily booked. He suggested a night fish around dock lights, even though Iโm not a fan of night fishing in my home waters I agreed. When I arrived at the boat launch Capt Keith already had the boat in the water. We were motoring away from boat launch at 7:25, not bad for a 7:30 start time.
We chatted about approach to night fishing around the Stuart area while motoring to the first spot. I got a chance to get a bit of daylight fishing in but once it got dark the fun began.
We fished around dock piles that had lights shining in the water. Capt Keith was a wealth of knowledge about which fly to use and where to cast. he had great eyes for spotting fish.
We caught 4 types of fishโฆ.Snook, a Grouper family fish, a mangrove snapper and one more that the name escapes me. His knowledge of salt water fish, possible locations, types of flies, presentation and playing fish was exemplary.
Iโm a experienced fly fisher and a guide in my local area. I suggest that anyone who hires Capt Keith to put your trust in his capable hands, he wonโt lead you a stray.
Capt Keith is polite, friendly with a great sense of humour. I had a wonderful time.
We summed up right around midnight, a solid 4 1/2+ hours fishing. The one fish, mangrove snapper, I decided to keep, on Capt Keithโs recommendation, he cleaned and scaled before I left the boat launch. It was as he suggestedโฆa great eating fish with great taste.
I wanted to fish my own gear, 8wt. Capt Keith brought along a 10 wt. All his gear is in perfect working order. His boat is clean and well laid out. He had ice and cold water to drink.
I left the boat launch tired but with a huge smile on my face from a great night with a new appreciation for night fishing.
On a very funny noteโฆ..we both wore the same fishing shirtโฆlol
