DIS, 4-7 Topwater Spanish

Post by Littoral »

A fine day on Dog Island Shoal. :D Topwater Spanish to 27 inches.
All fish are fun but topwater Spanish is right near the top of my list.
I also caught trout, blues, and redfish.
First fish on my new Okuma Guide Select Rod was a big Spanish on a chugbug. Thanks Advantage. :thumbup:
Noticed this, everything I saw the Spanish throw up make their living IN the grass,
2 species of shrimp and a Wrasse.

FYI, A Wrasse is a marine fish species also known as the Slippery Dick.
I'll guess that "slippery" refers to the fact that Wrasse are hermaphrodites that
begin their life cycle as a female and shift sex to become a male. :o

Actually listening to what other people say is worth the effort.

I've heard lots of things about hermaphrodites.....mostly questionable....but never heard them called wrasse! :roll:
Evidence once again I've led a very sheltered life! :o
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
