The highlight of the day was when we saw birds working, fish busting, and bait leaping out of the water to avoid being eaten
Turns out there was a large school of these chasing bait.
All our fish were caught on light tackle, mostly 12 pound line with 20 pound leader. A few, were caught on 17 pound line. Luckily, Don did have one rod set up with 30 pound line and I caught this fish on that rod. I was able to muscle this one in knowing I had enough tackle to get the job done.
Mike has a bunch of photos taken with a better grade of fish caught off a reef in the ocean. I'm sure he will post a couple pics.
Stay tune to see what Mike hooked up on 12 pound test and fought for about 20 minutes. It is a species you normally associate with catching while trolling
In the mean time, here is a photo of a small grouper. We caught many of them, but they are out of season (unfortunately).
Here is another example of the weather. This was out in the ocean on a deep reef. The water is beautiful. We saw sea turtles eating Portugeese Man of War
Just a wonderful time. Thanks Don for the invitation
Sure looks and sounds like you boys had fun down there. And you left poor Don behind to stay there for awhile longer? Man do I feel for him. It looks absolutely beautiful!
Glad you made it back safe and sound, now rest up for TriState. 3 shows I've had to pass Capt John without picking up a rig so you could sell it to me in Deale.
