Jacks and Pups

This morning I had Larry and his sons Sean and Donovan.  These guys have fished with me for a few years now.   We’ve done the trout and redfish thing – so they were ready for something a little larger.  We headed out the wreck this morning.  It wasn’t super smooth – but it wasn’t too bad either.  We got out there and got on the jacks pretty good.  These guys had a blast and did great!  Thanks so much for fishing with me again guys – great to see you.

The afternoon trip I had an old High School buddy that I haven’t seen in over 10 years.   We had a really good time on the boat – and caught a handful of drum.  They really wanted some meat so we went looking for a cobia. No luck….. I get a lot of emails about cobia.  They are pretty hit or miss right now, mostly miss.   Thanks guys!

Pullage!

Great Amberjack fishing this morning.  Tried some other options, but couldnt resist the run out to the wreck with the lake like conditions.  Arrived to the wreck and we had it to ourselves.  The Jacks were fired up – caught em on live and artificial.  Fun day!

Slot!

Very few slot drum being caught this year but we found one today. However, it was the only drum we found. Got the kids on some bottom fish then ran outside. Saw a couple dink cobia, a huge shark, and a couple giant manta rays. Below average fishing but a great time on the water.

Fire up the grill

Couple more brown ones for the grill today.  Ran out in some beautiful conditions and each guy got to crank in a hard fightin’ Jack.

Afternoon was pretty tough for us.  Had a group of 6 on the boat.  We had a great time, but the fishing was far from stellar.  Caught some misc.  bottom fish.  Tried the drum and flounder with no luck.  Oh well – thanks guys  for making the best of it!
