Hey all-
We caught 2 spanish mackerel at the jetties yesterday while trolling to our fishing spot. Lost one at the boat. Also hooked up a bunch of small black sea bass as well, too small to keep. After that we went behind Capers island and caught another spanish, but lost it when the leader broke.
By the way, a one finger salute to the asshole in the 38’ Fountain CC that went blazing by at about 60 mph, between us and another boat right before we got to the Wappoo cut landing. He went through a gap of about 30 feet or so. Idiot.
Where is DNR when you need em??
“holy mackerel!” nice fish.
Nice fish. Yep the ocean is full of idiots with no respect for the other boaters.

Spanish are out there. saw them all over the place in the shipping channel Saturday before last.
“mr keys”
We caught another 2 late this afternoon at the same trolling spot. Caught them with a small minnow type lure with a spoon in his mouth, not sure what you call them. Lots of vibration, only about 2 or 3 feet below the surface. Also tried going deeper with a small spoon and a planer, but no luck on that set-up. Seeing lots of fish on the depth finder though, usually running right at 19 to 25 feet deep. They are really running right now.
did the fountain have black or navy hull sides, white bottom and and 300hp verados? if it’s the same boat, they got a lengthy visit from the coast guard yesterday afternoon.
Yes, that’s it. The way he was operating was really dangerous, glad that something took place. The wappoo cut is not a place to drive like your in an offshore race.
