One of the tarpon which was laying up next to the mangroves.
This week, the canals around Satellite were hopping with big snook and juvenile tarpon eager for live bait. I caught two tarpon and had a lower slot snook come out of nowhere and eat my mullet while an overslot snook was licking its lips for my bait. Early in the morning, before sunrise, I attempted fishing at a marina. With many snook hitting, one after another, I only got one mid-twenties to the boat. Another one which got off on structure felt a bit bigger. Later in the day I moved on to the flats and did good there too. My dad got a solid trout and another mid-twenty inch snook ate my white bait and almost got me stuck in the mangroves. With a lot of rain forecast this week, hopefully the water will finally rise and turn on the bite even more.
You two have been putting the smack down on the fish. You two need to start logging your weights, I bet you’ve caught a bus worth in the last few weeks. Keep Slaying Slayers!
Dang, nice fish Coop!
