Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Great weather, a great group of guys, and a great bite made for a phenomenal 8 hour trip. TeamTradeWinds didn’t come to fish… we came to CATCH!
Bite was steady all day, even with the dolphin-devils following us around, our 7 guys landed 80 keepers!! We lost- at minumum- another 30 fish to the malice-mammals, but all in all, it was a great haul.
Final numbers in the box were:
-54 Mingo Snappers (Medium to large grade)
-20 White Snappers (Stud-sized Whities)
-5 Triggerfish (Banjo sized)
-1 Amberine (18”)
Fish we sent back home:
-10 Red Snappers (Out of Season)
-12 Triggerfish (Under size)
-7 Mingo Snappers (Under Size)
-2 Goggle Eyed Snappers (Not good eating)
-At least 30 unknowns lost to the flipper-fiends.
TeamTradeWinds FTW
