6/28 Rotary Reef report
Posted: June 29th, 2014, 9:58 am
Left Shields at 0730. We stopped be the east sandbar near the birdrack and didn't catch any pinfish. We decided to head toward Rotary Reef and stop by the shoals. About 20 minutes later, we found some very clear water and pinfish. We used these guys, some shrimp and squid along with two chum blocks at the shoals between 9:30 and 13:00. We caught a few small grouper and grunts. Found a lot of nice structure. Attracked some schools of spadfish fish but couldn't land any. I know these are hard to catch but my daughter knows the trick and brought some home in the past. Although we would have been happy with any eatable keeper, we wanted to land a cobia; still haven't caught a keeper. (Last week, we caught one small cobia and grunts near St. Marks reef.) We had some pinfish hanging on the bottom and one under a balloon. The weather was very nice although the breeze died and the heat began kicking up around lunch time.
