Shared Delusion

 

We got a very early start. Bait was hard to come by nothing at skyway or at a large tampa bay marker. The #13 Egmont marker came thru. We tried a drift in about 80 feet. We’ve never seen such TOTAL NON STOP FISHING ACTION!! It was amazing!! We must have caught 50 red grouper - many were keepers - We only keep a few of the big ones because we thought the size was 24″ not 22″. The smalls swam right back (to shallow to need venting) the water was amazing and there was plenty of sargassum in the water. We decided to try a wreck - the Sheridan - We caught some samll gags, hooked into what must be 100lb+ size Goliath Groupers - the poles bend over like our ultra lights rods when a stingray hit them. We had no chance but it was cool to know such a large fish was there. Next morning I was not so enthusiatic.

Note to self - Advil is required before and after all wreck fishing

Robert caught his first Barracuda - nice fish - It had a screaming start!

Happy fishing,
