Trolling Nearshore Destin 5/7/2008

reelfinatical · 05-07-2008, 05:07 PM

So we were up at 5:30am, took care of our appointments, & hit the water at 10am. Don't tell my eye doc though..lol.. Maybe the salty air is just what I needed to help heal me up.?!

We stopped by and got live cigar minnows from the bait boat = NICE bait. Rounded out of the Pass and headed east down the beach. We trolled over a nice bottom area for about 2 hours = BIG Spanish & small Kings. We were trolling some live cigs on turbo rattlers & others on plain skirted rigs.

Wind picked up & we called it a day - back on the hill at 2pm. It was nice to have that King smell & slime on me again.

Nice job! Notice any difference in hits between the turbo rattlers and the skirts?
