Our first stop is to set the Pinfish trap to do its job while we Trout fish. Well, the trap did it's job, but the Trout didn't do theirs. So after loading the Pinfish we head for the Pass and start Redfishing. It only took two drifts for Sam to catch this one, just oversize.
The very next drift Dani hooks into a nice Red but pulls the hooks before we could get a good look at it. The bite was slow so we decided to head for the Mackerel grounds. I called Capt Corey Maxwell for a report. Corey said that the Mackerel bite was slow for him this morning, and that he had some baits if we needed them ...we did.
After getting the baits from Corey we made a bee-line for the #1 Buoy. We quickly set up a slow troll pattern of live Cigar Minnows. 30 min or so had passed with out a bite, although we could see people around us catching fish. I stopped trolling a started just drifting and the fish started biting. It seemed like they preferred a drifted bait opposed to a trolled one?!? (same baits). We concluded the morning with 4 nice King Mackerel, the biggest being 17lbs.
Thank you again Dani, Sam , Robert, and Gary for making this happen today, I had a great time.
