Taking my opportunity's me and ian joined him for a few hours for some fishing. Our original plan was to head out to the islands to look for big snook and catch bait on the way.
Well...He forgot his net, we had no sabiki's...so we went arti. He was having problems with his engine the night before so he didn't want to head up to the islands with no bait and engine problems so we stayed inshore. But i of course thought we were going deep so i brought x-raps, terroreyes, etc...
We just hung around and kind of fished for god knows what on the deeper flats and letting the wind carry us.
We caught a bunch of these little fish, thought they might have been bluefish or blue runners? I have no idea...but they were stealing the tails off of everything... Ian lost about 6 bags of CALS, While i worked around them
I managed to pull out a couple of the little bait stealers, a small gag grouper from the rock (MY FIRST GAG!!!) and a small snook on the way in (No photo).
Ian and luke (Lukes in the red shirt) caught some of the small blue whatever's... AND IAN CAUGHT A BLACK SEABASS TO MAKE HIS TRIP!
We came across a school of tarpon while drifting, quite a nice school too...about 7-8 all maybe from 70-100# My second day out seeing tarpon, yesterday i fish a school of 5-15# with nothing...
Got a little video tape of luke and ian casting at the fish, but no tarpon can be seen in the video. I was busy chasing them and trying to get in front of the fish. (We had no idea what we were doing...
Just making it look so..)Fun day, great day spent out and had a good time on the boat, since i don't get to get out much on a stinkpot.
Photo's:
