I had a good fishing partner today. He toughed it out the whole day through! HEAT, afternoon wind and all! We scored several legal limit flounder at the Jetties end, Mangrove Snappers, even a Grouper, at other spots here and there and many under sized Trout.
Got stuck with your usual barrage of Cats, Rays, Puffers, and Lady Fish too.
Late into the day we finally had a well deserved measure of fun for sticking it out so long!
A double header for me as I picked up on my first Red of the day! Before I could clear it from the net I had another on the line! One 20 and one 22.5" Red.
I left the hot spot to bobberhead. Decided to head over to the spot where I picked up on those two 26.5" Reds two weeks before since the bite was on. He swept up on another 19" Red after I left. His keeper of the day!
Were are all those legal limit trout I need to claim my hall of fame first legal slam?

Wow, not a bad deal. You guys must have had a blast.

Better not let FWC catch you with two reds in your net at the same time Might be considered over the limit
