Hi all. With a nice day forecasted and Pete & i with an RDO, he andy and i headed off down the straits for a quick run. With about two hours before the top of the tide,we ran right up the top of a creek,found some bait,and started fishing plastics.
Pete was first on the board with a nice Grunter on a Bloodworm 2.5" Zman. Andy got a little Trevally then Pete got another Grunter which he kept for dinner.
I got a nice one,then Andy and i had a run of the old "Straight ROD" while pete kept a steady procession of bream and small grunter coming to the boat. After numerous lure changes and a sandwhich, andy finally hooked up,to his biggest Tarpon to date.
The pics dont really do it justice to its thickness. After that we got a few more,pete got wrapped around a tree by a trevally that we had to go in and untangle and a couple more Grunter.
I also got wiped out on the light gear up into the mangroves. All in all a good day out,and a cold beer on the way home...Love days like this on the bay.
Everybody is probably sick of the tarpon jump shots but i got a couple more today..i kinda like em..
Oh..Pete also got his first Diamond on a lure...
