First Time Gigging Last Night Nov.9

SpinFisher · 11-10-2007, 03:47 PM

Rigged up a light and gave it a try last night. First went out and checked the Destin jettys...Too rough with wind/current to do anything. Then worked the shoreline on the west end of Destin bridge...quite a few dead fish on the bottom from the redtide still and didnt see no flatties there either. Continued west and looked around the coast guard station...there was another boat there gigging so decided to let him have that area. Then went to west side of coast guard and poled down shoreline towards Fort Walton. Checked out the grass flats with nothing in site. Decided to turn around and head back toward Destin close to shore and finally spotted one in about a foot of water. After Landing it i continued down the shore but did'nt see any more. Was out from 5:30 till 10.

about 21" but scale was broke so didnt weigh it
