Dear Mr. Skunk - I didn't get skunked today

Post by TerryW »

So there! You should have waited and gone out in the afternoon with me. I would have put you on some of these for dinner:

All in all, not a bad afternoon. Plenty of trout, several snapper (go figure), lady fish, and some wild and crazy Bluefish (I think).

There was really a lot of activity. Something tearing up the mullet but I never could catch them nor see them. Too much floating grass. I am sick of this stuff.

Terry,

Glad to see you got some. I went out today and got a 4 little snooklets. Grass wasn't too bad in Palma Sola.

Geoff - I almost went to PS but changed my mind at the last minute.

I'm not sure where Mr. Skunk went today, but needless to say, he was skunked and we weren't. :lol:

Tasty. I fared poorly in the morning. So much for fishing the major. :cry: Had a few follows from some nice reds but bite hard they wouldn't.

Seems to be a lot of people accidently catching snappers. Makes me wonder if I should just take a day and target them before they're gone. Congrats.

That is the second unexpected Snapper I've caught in six weeks of not fishing much. What's up with that? Either the Snapper population is growing in T-Bay or their patterns have changed.

Must be..A lone snapper is what I caught over the grass yesterday...on a mirro-minnow :shock:

The few redfish I saw had lockjaw.
