Spanish saw his shadow, Early Spring, maybe

[phatdaddy]

Beautiful day today, mid 70's, with light southerly winds. hadn't had the boat out in a couple of weeks, decided to go for it. no real plan, just get out. took a couple of light trolling rigs just because you never know. saw some bait being chased and dragged a couple of spoons through the area. ended up with 5 or 6 of these guys. this is about 4 weeks early water temp is 65*, never really got cold, so maybe spring has sprung.

Did they go in some grease?

[phatdaddy]

Catch and release, greyduk. Except for one who was severely throat hooked, so he went in the freezer for grouper bait this summer.

man, a perfect day would be 6 or 8 of those on my ultralight setup, on a nice sunny day. don't take much.

I catch and release too, but I release them in some grease and serve with some garlic cheese grits. Maybe we could make a trip later this spring and see what we could snag. Good luck. Hope your weather holds out for a few more trips in the next couple of weeks.
