Friday at Caladesi

Post by nemo327 »

Got out early Friday and found a super high tide. I trolled an elastec 3 in minnow in a sparkly translucent grey and a chartreuse jig head I thought looked like a glass minnow. The paddle tail really kicks a lifelike action. I hooked numerous under size trout to the point it was annoying. I then cast netted finger mullet and paddled to the shoreline, Casts against the mangroves resulted in immediate hookups 20 to 21 in reds, casts that landed 10 feet from the trees were ignored. WHEN THE TIDE CHANGED AT 10:30 THE BITE JUST STOPPED. No fish were harmed in this catch and release marathon. I am off tuesday and I will try Honeymoon island for some variety.
