Met FlounderPounder at Jerry's at 5:30 a.m. and made the drive to the Aucilla. We were the third boat to launch in darkness and found that the wind was blowing close to 15 mph. Fishing was tough early as the waves were big enough to make topwater ineffective.

Finally, FP had a blowup on the topwater, but the fish missed so I threw behind and hooked up...after a five minute fight with a good red, the hooks on my twitchbait were straightened and the fish was lost.

The wind died a little and we moved to the East a bit. We fished a rockpile in about 2.5' of water ...topwater plugs and twitchbaits were the ticket.



26.75"


27.5"


This fish was scared of FlounderPounder



We landed 8 reds to 27.5" and a big Jack. Around 11:30, we decided to take it to Savannah's as we were tired of fighting the wind. Even Suber came in to join us. Enjoyed it FP - look forward to more trips in the future!

It was a good day, but the wind made it tough fishing. We fished shallow around structure...water temp stayed between 75-78 all morning.

That looks like a good day of fishing. The weather looks gloomy in the pics, but you guys look happy with the fish you were catching

Nice fish fellas.

Good fish boys

Very nice fish all around. Was the Jack on topwater? Fun to see them around.
Their local numbers seem to be rebounding after many years of very few.

A true salty, fishing in winds like that!! Way to hang those big reds guys!

You guys did great on a tough morning with winds!

Lit,

The jack was caught on topwater. A big school rose up by the boat and was busting big mullet, FP threw into and hooked up immediatly. The jack didn't fight very hard though which was strange.

Purdy Reds

Nice phish guys

Always a good time CC, tough conditions for sure but it was nice to bend a rod on a windy weekend.

Good trip, Guys.
