Went out early yesterday morning, stopped and got both live and frozen shrimp. Got to #11 around 7:00, surf was rough on incoming tide, and had to break out the 5oz. sputniks just to get the baits to hold the bottom, fished upp until about 11:30, with nothing to show for it but a slight sun burn, and a small foul hooked whiting. Until, I was packing up and deciede that I had to make two trips to the truck anyway, so I would leave the rods. I put Live shrimp on them, and made long casts as far as I could. Went to load the truck came back to see my 13 footer doubled over. It had taken a bunch of line out and I knew It was going to be pretty decent. I reeled and reeled with it taking lineall the time, a good twenty minute fight, Iuse light line as to enjoy it more! I was my saving grace a big red, had to measure it It was close, 26 and a half, just big enough for the cooler, and for dinner last night. Nothing better than fresh blackened grouper. I talked to a few other people, but they didn't to seem to be having any luck. I guess i live up to my name. Joe


Two thirds of the Earth is covered by water, So two thirds of our time should be spent fishing.

Hey redfishjoebob
Always seems to happen that way when your not around or looking the other way. Thank god for a good hook up and blackened fish.

mistyped

I just got around to reading my post, and I see I slipped, too much beer, I ought not type and drink at the same time. but it was blackened redfish not grouper. That would be a real catch at spot 11.




TWO THIRDS OF THE EARTH IS COVERED BY WATER, SO TWO THIRDS OF OUR TIME SHOULD BE SPENT FISHING!!!!!

I do the same thing when fishing alone. Everything else gets packed before the rods get reeled in. Have yet to be lucky like you but I will keep trying.
