Well what can I say about a place that has more twists and turns than a Britney Spears night out? That has islands that float so routes can change with the tides? That have passages stacked so close together that they can fool even the best GPS's? Yet at the same time can offer 50+ snook in a single day. (52 was my best day) and all on artificial.. Thats the Hells Bay I know and love. And as a bonus you can fish all day and never see another human being. I can remember one day fishing with Herman Lucerne out of a canoe that he kept stashed on an island about 3 miles back from where the charts stop. We had gone I dont know how much further east when I told Herman I thout I heard voices. To which he told me I was out of my @#$^ing mind. A few minuets later he agreed he heard it too. He told me to stand up and see if I could see anything. As I did I told him he would not believe what I saw. I told him Herman there are people having a picnic and fishing from the shore in what appeared to be a deep pond. Well he said some colorful words as only he could and after some thought he realized we had paddled our way all the way to Paurotis pond. A small pond some miles before you get to Flamingo on the main road. And to top it off we had caught snook all the way there. This tells you how vast and unexplored this area is. So many routes exisit that have never been found.. A place worth taking your time to slowly explore and enjoy... But dont trust your GPS alone.. Learn it by thinking and remembering watch the tree lines for their shapes and remember what you see.. That is the way to learn Hells Bay... Is there anything in particular you would like to know about the area?
