I know I haven't posted on here in a long time and it isn't a shark report
or big fish in ya'll's standards...but here is my report...
David and myself headed out this morning to prefish for the
DOA paddle tournament next Saturday. The tournament is for one snook, one
red, and one trout. They don't have to be slot because it is a photo tournament.
We started off the day in the Sound at 6:30. Here are two sunrise pictures
from Monday and today...
We paddled down a shoreline and in the first spot we anchored
I got 3 snook from 20"-22". David was a few yards farther and got this 25"
redfish from the mangroves on his light trout rod...
We poled along a flat and I sightcasted this 21 1/2" trout...
David soon pulled up to a pothole next to me and hooks up...
He caught the 27" 7 1/2 lb. red with many spots sightcasting with a DOA CAL
jerkbait...
We got done with inshore fishing at around noon so we went off
the beaches in search for tripletail and David got this little guy at 15"
(released)...
We saw some HUGE fish inshore but it was difficult seeing them
before they saw us. I hope next Saturday will be just like today except catching
at least half of the fish we spooked. A beautiful day in paradise. =)
Stay tuned for shark reports!!!
