Yeah- we caught some fish.....sorry to say they were a little further South.
Took the family to sunny FLA this week. Got a chance to fish the flats around Boca Grande, Florida with the kids.
Took my two oldest, TJ and Juliana, for a morning of live bait fishing. We had great 82 degree weather with lots of sunshine.
We used live pilchards and little herring type baits to drum up some nice skinny water action with 24 fish total. We caught spanish mackerel, redfish, and snook. The kids had a ball and impressed me by hooking, fighting, and landing each fish on their own!!! Now they are ready for the striper season.
Here are TJ and Julie fishing the bow.
Here are a few of our keepers- along with Capt Eddie
And here is a pic of me with my first keeper Snook. What a nice fight these babies give on light tackle.
All in all a great Vacay. My little boy- Timmy(4) was upset that he did not get to tag along on this trip so we got him a Spiderman combo and hit the pond behind the in-law's Condo and he had an absolute BALL catching tons and tons of BlueGills. He is stoked for the season now!
Well- boat goes in the water tomorrow. What a great splash day with 25-30knots w#$ds forecasted. Better days are coming.
