Met up with Dean, Matthew, and Lauren this morning at 0730. Although the wind was howling at 20+ knots, our particular fishing spot was protected from the strongest of the winds. Upon arrival I deployed the anchor and the catching began. On our very first cast Matthew bowed up with a nice Redfish. Game on!


Matthews Red was just a little over-sized;

so he took the honor of releasing his fish.
Lauren followed him up with a nice Black Drum of her own.(I'd have a pic, but I had to hold her fish for her picture...she was not touching it) Then the Sheepsheads started. The bite was nice and steady all morning and we took advantage of it.


We boated 11 Sheepsheads, 1 Redfish, 1 Mangrove Snapper, 1 Bluefish and 1 Black Drum. An excellent morning, despite the seemingly poor conditions.

Thanks again Dean, Lauren, and Matthew for a great, if chilly, morning. I hope we can do it again sometime.
