Quick trip 3-22-19

Post by snapperfanatic18 »

Headed out to 7 mile for a quick trip with the lil bro and did fairly decent..started off with a few grovers and then the wind decided to blow knowing how much i really hate it and the bite just shut down. But managed 4 to 13" and 2 throwback pinkies about 15" ( new regs are gonna hurt shorebound fishermen, but i get it) anyways, i almost forgot about the shitload of sharks that we caught..lol...waited for sunrise to head to long key and the turn of the outgoing which played perfectly. Got there and released 4 more short pinkies until i got tired and decided to get crafty...lol...tossed out my bucktail wahoo jig and BAM!!!! Big cero(which i foul hooked and made it a pain to bring in against the outgoing) but i managed slowly but surely and i got him.. weighed in at 9lbs!!! Got another slob and a few others including 2 spanish macks..no permit, because i guess they think i hit my quota with the one i got at haulover...lol...but not a bad fora few hrs of fishing..almost forgot 2 decent blues at 7 mile...tight lines!

Nice cero. I miss Niles for those
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

The warmest winter, Ron. Temps in the morning in the low 60 with winds and windy. In the keys the wind can be a pain as you know at time if not on the right bridge. Then warms up by Sun up fast

Thanks guys...i think those blues pushed in because that NE decided to blow at 20 when we first got there it was at 4 mph and the water started getting that chop. And we lost a couple others to cutoffs...was expecting to target some hogs but i totally forgot about that species..lol..
