Mike and his family met me at Shoreline Park at 0630 for 6 hours of fishing. We procured a well-full of live Cigar Minnows and headed for a few Snapper holes a few miles from the beach. The fish were home and ready for breakfast. Before the bite slowed we had amassed 4 nice Red Snapper, 2 solid Mangrove Snapper, and a big King that ate the unweighted Cig on the 12lb outfit.



We moved about 4 miles to another spot and again the unweighted Cig gets eaten. Ten minutes into the fight and I'm sure this isn't another Kingfish. When we get color we see a legal...that's right, legal, Amberjack...ON A TROUT ROD!!! How cool is that? Pretty cool if you ask me!



We also boated another King and our biggest Snapper of the day, before moving inshore to try our hand at a Redfish. And thats how we finish the day, with a big Redfish.



A nice box of fish, and home in time for lunch and a nap.



Thanks again guys, it's always a pleasure to fish with you.
