The Snook are dialed in again!
Tom and I headed out at 11:00 and the first spot, first cast, BAM, I put a 27 inch Snook in the boat. I stayed pretty steady catching Snook and sadly, Tom stayed pretty steady putting Catfish in the boat, about 5 in a row. We continued fishing hard and I was up with 6 Snook and then Tom found a honey hole, he put 3 Snook in the boat in three successive casts, followed by a Goliath Grouper, and then a Sheepshead. He was on fire! Today’s lesson, where boats are on boat lifts, under the engines there are deep holes that the engine digs out when putting boat on lift. We continued on with Tom catching another Sheepshead and another 3 Snook although I was on fire putting 2 more Snook in the boat.
Don’t be misled by the beautiful skies in the pictures, we saw storms blowing in from the East and South and tried to make a run for it, although we were trapped West of the train bridge. I thought it would be a good idea to seek safe refuge under the old Roosevelt (US 1) bridge under one of the lower spans. We stayed dry during the storm with hail, see picture, although about 30 yards away a bolt of lightning struck something. My ears popped, felt the heat, although luckily my sphincter muscle stayed contracted! LOL. As the storm cleared and still waiting for the train bridge I made a cast under the bridge tender office and landed another nice Snook. Great way to end the day at 3:00. Short day for me but relaxing and got the job done in 4 hours.
15 Snook (9 Keith / Tom 6, including 2 Tarpon Snook and 1 Small Scale Fat Snook)
2 Sheepshead for Tom
1 Goliath Grouper for Tom
Too many Catfish and Snapper to count
