legalhookin · 11-13-2008, 09:35 PM

got in the water around 10am, took the boy to my croaker hole but no takers......went to the 3mile bridge and bounced a gulp around got acouple white trout think about 10 total....ate the 3" gulp and some cut menhaden on the boys rod. decided to go check out the pass...(boy said trout action wasn't cutting it...spoiled kid!!:doh, so went and seen that the weather man was all wrong, very nice low rollers...ran out probally as far as 14miles out all public spots and i fished my jig rod setup and the boy still on the bottom rig on 10lb test deal(kids 4 1/2yrs old) well i found probally a total of 6 grouper all short some gags and one red. all too short but all on the jig. of course a few endangered red snapper and of course all would have been legal....:banghead. got 2 triggerfish, one was 14.5" but the other is a beast...20.5" long and he ate the jig!!! hell ya!! boy got the other trig. (funny watching him fight them on that little set up!!) finish up the day on a spot that was infested with 20" ajs. tried for some bull reds on the way in, seen the birds diving and stuff in the turning basen....threw a fairly large rubber jig that looks like a menhaden, got hit instantly....(almost ashame to say.....)got it in huge sail cat, so cant finish like that right? throw again....sinks 5' and bam!! on again.....get to the boat.....freaking huge sail cat!!! well, let it go and the little captain said time to go, so loaded up and called it a day, of course after stopping at mc donalds....hate that place!!:doh. heres some pics, dont show all the fish but you know pics are pics!!

thats my most reliable fishing buddy!!! never complains never bails out on me!! usually catches dinner too.....because me and my friendsget distractedwith stuff you cant keep! well thanks!

o guys with kids, found the greatest hook in the world for little kids....#8 octopus circle hook.....leaves nothing behind! lol and no hook sets to complicate things for the little ones and guts very very little.(also catches dad alot of bait!!) works great at 3 mile when other stuff mixed with white trout. cya

FLORIDA BOY · 11-17-2008, 09:26 PM

These look more like Weakfish than trout. Trout have specific spots

lingfisher1 · 11-17-2008, 09:31 PM
