This morning, I went fishing out of Saint Mark’s in hopes of finding gag grouper near shore where are the winds and seas would be relatively calm. While fishing, I caught three of the ugliest fish in Apalachee Bay. First, I caught a nurse shark that was about 3 feet long. Next I caught a remora. Finally, I caught an oyster toadfish.
Here’s the toadfish:
We did not catch any grouper on this trip. I suspect the grouper bite didn’t happen because of the extremely low tide and strong currents while we were fishing. However, we caught a 16 1/4 inch flounder on a small Bonita strip. We also brought home several white grunts that hit small pieces of Bonita or squid.
