Default Florida fishin report

While its blowin a gale up there its beutiful down in ponce inlet (Daytona). Went out with a new friend for my first redfish trip. It's just like live lining for stripers

Hit the inlet early and with a few throws of the net made our bait for the day (mullet). Headed out to the tip of the jetty of ponce inlet and set up shop. Took a little while but I busted my redfish cherry with a fish at the upper end of the slot size. Also caught a bonnet head shark and a monster drag screaming run off which ended up being a nice tarpon. The tarpon launched itself out of the water and cut the 30 floro. A hot fun day on the water. The red run is on right now. Will hit it again real soon.

Nice red!
Those tarpon (silver kings!) are some powerful gamefish - really test your tackle. Hooked and lost a bunch down in the Keys before I finally landed my first one. Was out in an inflatable kayak fishing a pass between keys when it hit. Fish was strong enough to drag me (with anchor out!) under a bridge, clearing the water several times till it tired out. Found out afterwards there is a resident hammerhead that occasionally patrols the area and steals hooked tarpon. So glad he wasn't around that day!
Way to catch 'em up!

Good to see you have found your way around the southern waters Steve.
Nothing like sunshine every day.
Find a few of the sheepshead sharpies and hook up with them, that is your Florida blackfish.
JOEY and I are currently playing our annual tuna weather game. Typical fall blow outs.
