these first couple pics i am going to post are of a recent trip to florida that i took. i will continue to post my pics here throughout the season instead of starting a new thread everytime. i will try to post some of my trout pics tomorrow because i have to download them from my camera.
this pic is of my fiance lifting up some rocks to get some fiddler grabs for us to use for bait for the sheephead. man do those little f@#$%@'s hurt when they pinch. half the time you can't get them off your hand until you shake it hard and their pincher falls off. she's was tough and got them anyway, for the most part i spectacted and only hooked them and caught the occasional one trying to get away.
pic removed since arch and d balm are drooling over her.
this pic is of the first saltwater sheephead that i caught and they were suprisingly good table fare and maybe the best fish i ever ate.
this a pic of my fiance's father and me with a couple of the sheephead and red snappers we caught. all the fish we caught were due to him because he put us on to all the spots he normally fishes. i have yet to fish with him and go home emptyhanded. can't wait till he comes home from florida for some lake erie bass fishing!
here is the fiance and me holding some of the same fish. she's bundled up because that day it was probably 20-30 mph winds. the gulf had 10 foot swellson it the day we caught these fish but we were in an inlet and it was still tough to feel the bite. we went out the next day on a charter which only produce 21 fish for 45-50 people with most in the 10-12 inch range. never go to that company again!
