DOORMAT!! - Page 3

I've mentioned it a few times on here, but that place if so fun to gig. Went to college at UNF in jacksonville. The fall is insane. Catch them in the day, shallow or deep(along with sight fishing reds) and gig your limit at night. Water clarity is a huge thing there, but if you get shollow enough it doesn't matter to much. St. Aug. is much clearer than jax. I would usually run there or up to Nassau or Ft. George inlet. Got this one in St. Aug one night in two feet of water. His tail was throwing water on me as I was holding him to the bottom in 2' of water. I reached down in the water to hold him on the gig and almost shat my self when I got him in the boat. 30", 12.5lb ( after being in a cooler all night)

I'll never forget coming up on him and he started to do the hover turn before taking off. As soon as I was in striking distance I let him have it. I think if I would have waited another second he would have been gone.

A friend of a friend caught an 11lb the next day and the day after that a 16lb was caught in a redfish tournament. Insane.

In reality, if I rolled up on one that size, I am pretty sure that I would piss myself.

True Dat! My gig, hell my whole body would be shakin'!!!! But I'd dive in with only my swiss army knife if I had to! What's with the 2 guys sayingrod and reel is the ONLY way to catch flounder????? Just ignorant I guess! Guess that also excludesdiving/spearing and bow fishing!?? Must be nice to be "holier than thou"! It would never occur to me to sh*t on someone for using another method (rod and reel for example), but I guess I was just brought up differently. As my Dad used to say, "If you can't say something nice, shut the f__K up"!
