small spanish are showing up

[phatdaddy]

took the v out today to check out the new (to me) gps/chartplotter. mostly messing around, but we did drag some spoons. caught 3-4 little guys, so the bigger cousins should be here in a day or two. i know, pics are required. i'll post some this weekend.

I know I should know this, because we are close, where are you phatdaddy?

[Blue_Runner]

I always look forward to your 1st spanish reports....that means they'll be up our way shortly.

[phatdaddy]

garbubba, i'm in panama city , bout 200 miles east of you, so they should be heading your way

blue, get ready, our water temp in the bay was 68*, but with all the rain, water looked like coffee. may be you guys will get cleaner water= better fish.

Probably not going until mon or tues. weather is supposed to suck this weekend, so we're going to georgia to visit my in-laws. be getting back sun and off all next week for "SPRING BREAK". I know, i'm a little old for that, but one of the perks of living in a family of educators

not very big, and a little hard to locate, but managed to get these guys in a couple of hours this afternoon. weather has been bad all week and water is like tea, very dirty.

:nice: And very good eating. Just checking our regulations for the Spanish Mackerel in So. Florida and they say that " Transfer of Spanish Mackerel to other vessels at sea is prohibited" Wonder why?

[phatdaddy]

probably because when you get in them, you catch a bunch. would be easy to load up and then call your buddy over. also a lot of people use them for bait, so that would also be tempting to try.

That makes a lot of sense.
