I'm heading to Port Charlotte FLA on the 16th --127-3- going after snook, reds, pompano, jacks, and whatever else will bite. We'll be on foot and in kayaks both in the backwaters and alongside Boca (Whidden's).

Any suggestions for some patterns to tie for the trip? Prefer links to patterns if you got 'em.

Highlight of my '05 trip was hooking pompano on a tan crab pattern off the beach right at the industrial dock at the end of Boca Grande. Real knucklebusters.

thanks

Bring your clousers and deceivers. Also, a good assortment of Dahlberg Divers for trout and Snook. Be sure some of those flies are brown. Brown is a favorite fly color in Florida for many species.

I've had good luck in the Indian River between Melbourne and Sebastian Inlet as well as farther north in Banana River and Mosquito Lagoon with those flies.
