My friend Howard, and a few of his friends, Joe, James, and Wayne, joined me for a morning of trying to catch dinner. These guys were fired up to, as Wayne says, "dry off" some Sheepsheads, and give them a formal introduction to the frying pan! We went directly to the jetty, anchored just off the rocks, and began pitching baits. We were soon rewarded with bent rods.


James added this nice Black Drum to the well (top);
Joe answered with one of his own

James, not to be outdone, closes the book with this perfect slot sized Redfish. Nice job James! You think he's proud of that one?


Howard was too busy fishing to have a picture taken, nothing was about to slow him down! By the time I would get a fish off of his line, he'd already have it baited and ready to go back down. He and Wayne both added fish to the box, bringing the cooler count to 6 Sheepsheads, 5 Black Drum, 2 Redfish, and 2 Mangrove Snapper...excellent morning!


Thanks again Howard, Joe, James, and Wayne, I can't wait to do it again.

And, as always, thanks to the readers for their time.
