Well, between law school and managing Homewaters’ growth, I haven’t been able to get on the water for the past two months. That all changed yesterday when I finally made it down to Florida to hit the water w/ friends. A total of four of us hit the 'goon at around 10am, and fished till dark. The weather was the chilliest I’ve ever fished down there, and the sky was overcast.
And the fishing was beyond belief.
We caught easily 80+ individual tailing upper slot fish between our crew. These fish were all super shallow, and though a bit sluggish, were happy w/ backs flappin’ out the water. At every given point in the day, at every spot we hit, we literally were surrounded by tails. Usually when you fish w/ a crew out there, ya have to share the shots, etc. but today there were too many fish to catch them all. I was de-hookin my boys at the side of the kayak in what soon became a very quick operation. I demolished my personal best of 12 fish out there, and ended up w/ a Michael Jordan (23) fish. I stopped after that and took pics.
I don’t know what was going on out there, but it was a special day. Makes those tailing tides up in SC where the action is on for 15-30 minutes all that more special. The fishing is “better” in FL of course, but give me a 3 fish day in SC where you earn the fish any day.
Here’s a pic of many we took yesterday. I still don’t have a memory card, so we were stuck w/ 6 pics. ****ty because we woulda had hundreds of pics from that day, and the sunset was as epic as the fishing. Woulda stopped catching fish and started getting tailing shots… Learned my lesson on that on.
One of many double hookups. And yes, there were triples and quads.
