“That almost pulled me in”

Had a great day today “grocery shopping” for a fish fry. We stryws our day with low water so we went to the rocks to pick up some good fish to fry up then worked our way in with the tide and got on a school of redfish and was able to land her first keeper redfish , not the biggest but for a first a keeper is a keeper. We had a great day and accomplished the mission of “bringing home the groceries”’

We had a beautiful morning with a good incoming tide ,overcast skyes and almost no wind. We started our day on the hunt for some redfish and found a hungry school tailing near a rocky point. We hooked up almost instantly and warmed up with a few smaller reds then the star of the show made his appearance, we saw this bruiser of a fish about 10 yards off the bow and was able to pitch a live shrimp to him and he nailed it as soon as he saw it. Despite a wound from a previous shark bite this 32” brute gave an amazing fight and was released to live another day.

This time of year is a great time to get a kid on the water. The shallow rock piles in our area are seeing good numbers of these delicious and easy to catch grunts showing up along with mangrove snapper and spanish mackerel. These are easy fun fish to keep kids engaged and put aome tasty table fare in the box.
