Took a trip to the East Coast Saturday. Met up with my friends from West Palm, Ben and Jay. We meet up just before sunrise, and launched into a light breeze. The flats were alive with bull mullet, but no reds or trout to be found amongst them. I decided to hit up a near by dock and after four consecutive casts that resulted in huge blow-ups, I managed to pull this agressive fellow out.
A litter later on fishing around a small island I hooked up witha small snook, blackdrum, and this healthy redfish.
Moving on to another shoreline, we found a spot holding some snook. I pulled 3 out in a matter of 5 minutes, including this guy. Ben hooked up as well.
We had prepared some items for grilling, so we started to look for a propper spot.We found a break in the groves and pulled up to find platform ready for the grill. We had some snapper fillets and chicken, we made some tasty tacos and ice cold beverages. Here are a couple pics.

After a great meal, we lazily made our way back to the launch 2 miles away. We did alot of catching up and made a few casts in-between. Until Ben and Jay hooked up with a nice snook at the same time, Jay's did a big head shake and spit the SS Jr. back at the kayak. Ben landed his it looked to be about 23-24". We decided to stay there a little longer, Ben caught 2 more and Jay got one, I broke out the flyrod and got ziltch. Heres one of Jay's.
It was a great day, final tally:
Ben: 4 Snook
Jay: 2 Snook
Jon: 5 Snook, 1 Red, 1 Blackdrum
