We left the boat ramp at 3:30 Saturday and went to 130ft with live baits in hopes of bigger red snapper. They were definitely bigger than last weekend, but I’ve caught them three times as big in the past. There’s still no shortage of them even after “experts” decided to have a mini season during the peak spawning time of the year. If only the eggs would hatch inside the Port. That won’t realistically happen but maybe they will move into state waters someday?
We dodged a nasty thunderstorm on the way in and I saw the second waterspout of my life. I didn’t have time to photograph it due to dangerously close lightning. It’s a good reminder why you always want to have plenty of safety gear. Plenty of great information can be found online, just be aware of whether it’s official information or opinion.
King mackerel, tarpon, and snook will be the primary target this week. The water is blue by 60ft, so you might get a mahi, sailfish, or blackfin over 8A or Pelican. You shouldn’t need to go that far though.
You guys did great Kurt!
