Just a little heads up on the fishing. First off, it's been SOFA-KING hot the past two days it's been unreal. With the water as dirty as I've ever seen it in the 30 years I've lived and fished here I would say this....
(1) Use Chartruse or some other equally loud color....
(2) Get out in the dark AM and have a plan B for after about 8 AM....If you have enough skiff...just off the beach is a good option.
(3) If you ever considered night fishing...now's the time.
(4) If you find fish...stay on them...don't leave fish to find fish.
Today, the fishing was very good early on....had somewhere between 17- 20 Reds ( I got all buggered up on the count at 14 so just said the heck with it... ) and 10 (I think...again..some confusion keeping trout and red #'s straight in my head)
plus, For my first fish of the morning... I had a 25" Snook.
BUT my best catch was more of a hackey-sack kick. When I hooked the snook...somehow I hit/snagged my watch I guess and pulled the band attachment pin out and the watch hit the deck but with what must have looked pretty spaz-like I kicked it on the bounce back in the cockpit. That would have really sucked since I doubt it would have been findable under the circumstances.
