Panacea 5/30

[strictlydiesel86]

Hadnt been out fishing for awhile so i decided to try a new area. went out panacea w/ some problems w/ getting the motor to run wide open so i kept it pretty close. fished the sand flats @ the mouth of the inlet. had a great day of sight fishing out there. nothing keeper but i hooked into 2 small rays to about 5lb. picked up a puffer, and a small bonnet head shark. then sighted a monster ray cruising the flat so i cast to him and had the best fight all day. i couldnt really do much about getting him into the boat as i was only using 10lb leader and he broke off after about 10mins. man was that a fun fight and an adrenaline rush! hoping to get out there again once i get the engine working properly.

Sounds like you had a good day on the water. Good luck getting the motor working smoothly.

I've tried that before but no takers, whats was the lure of choice to gettin them big rays to eat?

At least the motor ran and you got some pullage!!

I hear ya on the big rays. My son hooked a big un out of St. Mark's one day and fought it for about 20 minutes. Would get it to the boat and off it would go. Ended up breaking a nice fishing pole.
