windy day

Post by nemo327 »

Launched off sunset beach in Tarpon Springs. Wind was stiff and I almost didn't go. One throw with my net resulted in dozens of green backs! Now with this great bait I am committed. There were schools of fish cruising the flats very large fast moving wakes could have been mullet but no jumpers. They totally ignored lures and green backs so they were probably mullet. The wind steadily increased until white caps started to form just at this moment when the brain says get yourself to shore I got a hit...blow fish, then small trout after small trout. The lack of quality bites, drag pulling heart pounding screamers plus the biggest wind knot I have seen in 5 years finally convinced me to call it a day.
