Hit the beach yesterday and today.
The "seaweed" was bad both days but yesterday being overcast was the better of the two days. I put a nice pomp, redfish, a GIANT whiting and a nice redfish in the cooler. I threw back a bout a half dozen bluefish I caught, yuck, you yankees can keep them.
Today I met some family members out on the beach mostly to socialize but I of course brought my rods.
I had a big bull red on and fought him for a while but while trying to surf him in on a wave to beach him, he came unbuttoned which sent me flying backwards in the sand. Other then that fish and a lower slot redfish it was dead today.
Tomorrow Im heading out deep offshore on my buddies big boat. Original plan was to do an overnight trip at the oil rigs for yellow fin tuna which is about a hundred miles offshore but no one could come up with the couple hundred bucks a piece for gas on such short notice. Instead we are going to head about forty miles out of Destin pass. Our main goal will be jigging up some big AJs and then perhaps if we find a line or rip troll for wahoo and black fin tuna. If no luck there and because the first boat cobia was caught in Destin today we may run the beach looking for cobia from the tower. Im pumped and cant wait. I already know Im going to be SORE from fighting fish tomorrow.
