Ft. Pierce trippletail and pompano, topped with a mantis shrimp... 11/30

I took my dad out today for a little inshore action here in FP.  Started early on the incoming looking for flounder, but could not get a bite.  I did catch a large mantis shrimp that did not let go of my Gulp shrimp.  Next stop was targeting trippletail.  Got a nice 8 lb'er on live shrimp.  Also, released a small Goliath.  Had him pull my crab pots (no, not elder abuse, he offered and wanted the work-out!).  Last stop was using the Goofy jig for pompano, and caught a few, and some other by-catch. All-in-all, a productive day here on the Treasure Coast on the last day in November! 

Boiled the mantis shrimp...tasted sweeter then lobster but softer meat.

Looks like a nice time! I have some family coming into town in March and want to fish that area.
