Ended up getting our limit a bit after 3pm, big fish was 21". We forgot the sunscreen in the car, and it was brutal out there. So... we got resourceful and found a towel in the boat, cut it diagonally and wrapped ourselves up. Makes for funny pics anyway
Nice landmark in the background of this one.
Here is Bert with the big boy of the day
I finally caught my first cobia, it was only 22", but made my day.
Saw a pod of dolphins cruising the flats, looking for the same thing we were. Ran the boat up to them and they joined us for the cruise. Their were 2 on the right of the boat, 2 on the left and 2 up front. They hung around for 5 minutes or so. You never know what your gonna run into out there.
Around high tide we went in and tried to harass the reds. We got 5 in about an hour, no keepers, and then got sick of fighting the onshore breeze.
Saturday we got up and fished for a couple hrs. Had to quit @ 9am to head back to ALB. Managed 4 keeper trout and lost a couple nice fish. Ladies and blues were everywhere. Right before we called it a day I was fishing the smallest little grunt under a CT and had yet another close encounter of the SILVER kind. A 100+ pound tarpon nailed the grunt, but the hook pulled and he hauled azzzz leaving a hole in the water. That doesn't ever get old. Great trip down, Bert's first time on the Senorita and only had a minor broken part...so....it's all good.
