Perfect day on the South Shore

Post by TerryW »

The cool weather this morning prompted me to dump my plans and head out fishing. I caught my first arti slam in several months.

I really hate measuring fish, but thought I need to keep practicing. This one was 23".

I had already caught three trout and two reds so I went searching for Mr. Snook in the mangroves. BLAMO, snook on. Just as I put my hand on the leader he jumped off. He just sat there stunned a bit so I snapped this photo.

Total for the day:
One snook, almost boated
Two reds
Four trout (largest was just over 17")
0 catfish
0 ladyfish
0 lizardfish

It was a good day and it ended like this:

I finally found Cow Creek. It's at the end of the Road to Nowhere!

BLAMO? More like SLAMo! Good going!

...still waiting on my arti slam of the year. Hopefully I'll hit it before winter sets in.

Touching the leader counts, imo. Photographic evidence seals the deal.

Well done! (for a girl).
