I went back to the hotel and drove with Diamond Dave through town to look at the places that got whacked by Wilma.
Most of the Banyan trees where flipped over and some roofs went flying.
Powerlines where downed at some locations and most trafficlights where damaged or without power.

In the afternoon I fished the dock at Crayton Cove and had my best fishing down there ever.
In a short period of time I hauled in 12 Snook, 1 Jack Crevalle and had a battle with a nice Tarpon.
I wanted to haul in the Tarpon by dragging it on the dock but it was too heavy for the 30lbs test, the knot broke and the Tarpon was gone.


Jack Crevalle



Snook

Fishing was unbelievable, I had never had so many hits while being down here.
The water was all stirred up but the fish where
on the bite like crazy.


Crayton Cove near sunset.

Near sunset the acitivity went down.
On my way back I made a stop at the outflow of the pumping station and had an instant hit when the fly landed in the outflow.


Snook nr. 12

I had not expected such good fishing after a hurricane.
It was my best day at the docks during my stay down here.
