Like Night and Day...

I took off on Good Friday and managed to get out twice this past weekend. The first day we fished grouper with pinfish and threadfins and that resulted in the usual shorts, close calls, a couple keeper gag's and whole bunch of break-off's in the process. Another smoker Kingfish was in the mix too and a nice one at that, maybe 20-25 pounds. Shame on us for losing him at the gaff, but we redeemed ourselves catching a keeper flound later in the day just tooling around.

Back at the dock...

The next day Brad and I got out with plans to find a few redfish on the high outgoing tide. We pitched cut bait while waiting out the slack tide and Brad scored on this perfect 27" fish... 

Time was running short so we hit a handful of spots on the way back but came up empty. It was now the very last stop, and finally we landed on a nice school of upper slot redfish. We chummed a little to get their attention, and the bite was on after that with quality fish from 25" - 27". 

Pair of 27's...   

 One of many...
