St. Marks.

Post by Redrichie »

Hit the east flats around 1030 on the incoming tide. Caught a couple bonnet heads. Then trout for about 2 hours. Ended up with 6 19ish keepers and plenty of fun shorts for the kids. Had the keep a pelican at bay for the duration. It was a race to the boat once they were hooked.
BTW, first bonnet head was around 3.5 ft on my kids zebco. Like catching Moby dick. Lol
Then it got windy and headed up river and finished off the shrimp on about 5 short mangrove snapper.

Thanks for the report. Glad you caught fish with your family. Your report helps people like me who
live a considerable distance from the coast better plan our trips down. THANKS AGAIN

They can save the day when kids are aboard and the fish aren't biting. Any kind of meat on the bottom in 8-10' will catch them and other sharks.

I've never caught one on the fly, but they will take a fly - I think fly fishermen target them in south Florida.
