Shell Point stick'in 08/29

bbb · Post by **bbb** » August 30th, 2007, 10:10 am

Evening started out under someones boat shed while the rain subsided. Around 9:20pm we put the lights in the water and started looking for outlines. Went 200 yards, nothing. Almost turned back but just kept on. About 100 yards later we have 1 in the box and 1 on the loose. Another 50 yards puts us in an area with a sandy bottom and lots of depth change. We spot 2 outlines about a foot and a half down. We both stick at the same time and pull up a 20" and 15" flounder. Another 20 feet and i put the gig on a 15" flounder. Then Vitz sees one that was almost invisible in 6 inches of water and sticks it. We then get out of the boat and walk up into the shallows seeing nothing but a couple reds. On the way back to the boat I see a 15" flounder an inch off the bottom about to run. I stick him. Back in the boat and drifting, Vitz gets 3 more and I get 1 more.

We then hit the sheepshead bar and put 7 in the boat in short order, 2 at 20".

We also had a 2 pound mullet jump in the boat and make the ride home with us. Off the water at 2am with 10 flounder, 7 sheepshead and a mullet.

Sorry for the bad picture with the cell phone. Camera batteries are a wonderful invention.

I'm officially hooked myself.

My wife is even happy with this sport. She enjoys having me home while the kids are awake. As long as I play while their asleep I'm gold with her.

You should join NFGFC and come to Carrabelle and stick some trouts and snot cats with us on September 8.

Man, that kind of action is making me jealous! I have gone out a hand full of times just to find the visibility was blown out, or the flounder were no where to be found... Hopefully I can get into some this weekend. Good job

Here are some pics of my half of the catch

2"x12" board for reference

Wifes hand for reference. Not huge but 20" is a nice one. Puts up quite a fight when pinned to the bottom.
