What a week!! I’m sure glad the wind and weather finally calmed down enough for me to be able to get back on the water! Today I was joined by Dan Coyle, Greg McMurtry and Andrew Grech. We decided to follow the predictable pattern of the spawning Sheepshead and load the cooler with some of these wonderful tasting fish. With a strong West wind predicted to blow through around noon we had to get on em and get on em fast.
We rocketed towards the North rocks and quickly started loading the box with solid 3-4lb fish. We couldn’t seem to locate the larger fish I have been catching in weeks past, but these were a quality grade of fish and a welcome guest aboard the South Again. After about two hours of catching we decided to try and land a few large Bull reds to add some color to our day. Unfortunately I struck out on the reds. We tried all the local hot spots in the Pass but just couldn’t seem to get away from the Sheepies.
Back to plan “A” we headed back to the North Rocks and went back to catching again. With our cooler stuffed and our arms tired I decided to hit one of my favorite Snapper spots in the Bay and try for something a little different. 1st drop all three rods double over and drags start screaming………………… up comes more sheepshead. With them in the cooler we turned her towards the East and slowly made our way back to the launch in a building West chop.
Another great day on the water!
……………………….See you out there
