Fished around the Islands out of Grant on Friday. My wife was using live shrimp with no results I tried z-man paddle tails and a jig and had a few short strikers on the z-man. Switched to a gold spoon and that was the ticket. Three lady fish, one king mackerel am pretty sure. The best fish of the day was a really nice trout about 22” from the west side of the island!
Wife eventually got a decent red on a shrimp from under a dock later in the day. Released them all to fight another day. Planning to get back out this week and try again. Maybe the Mosquito Lagoon?
A KING mackerel in the lagoon? That would be something! Ya never know, but juvenile kings do look a lot alike the Spanish variety.
Capt. Mark Wright says the water is dirty in the Mosquito and the expected rain tomorrow probably won’t help. Although, the we should get a nice bite following the front going into the weekend.
