spanish are here.......almost

[phatdaddy]

kind of a slow start to the season, spanish should have been here a week ago according to all the signs, but they are lagging this year.

wife is off for spring break, so we've been trolling last couple of days, nothing on tuesday and after 4 hours on wednesday, this is all we had to show



pretty small and skinny, but legal, so they rode home and we managed to get 8 tacos out of them.



the good news is the new motor LOVES to troll

I only managed 1 last Sunday. I've read they are in just to the south of me pretty strong along with kings under the skyway.

Beautiful looking fish!

That's good enough for me, I'm calling it, springtime is here!

[charlie_the_tuna]

man, I got an 8 pound spin outfit that would fit them badboys to a T.

[phatdaddy]

bradford, my allergies agree with you, even if the fishing doesn't.

you are correct charlie, trolling puts a lot more in the box(when they are here), but casting at the schools are a lot more fun. we catch them every now and then when trout fishing in the summer with live bait. i know some guys who fly fish for them also.

we've got a cold front hitting this weekend, lows 44-highs 65, so they might get delayed another day or two

Ya I've been lucky to catch one inshore while throwing a spoon for trout. Thought it was a trout at first, then while I was trowing him back noticed the hard tail. I think that was early last April here in Jax.

65 cold front??? that's a dam summer blast up here. i'll take that sh!t all day long.

temperature is all relative , like fat , rich or bald.

actually dropped water temp from 70-71 to 66
