pondfisher Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 On our first run of the year, skiffin16 and I dug up some healthy gags in some very rough seas and steady wind. With a bildge pump failure. Not an easy trip but got the meat. (John lost a fish that would have swallowed this one whole! There’s some tanks down there). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Dang, those are really health Gags. Very happy for you guys, I know the thrill. I haven't found one single keeper in S/W Fl. I think the Red Tide killed all the inshore Gag's here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY rough all day (relentless 3 ft rollers and 15-20 knot wind). Weather man had predicted 1.6 ft waves and 10 mph on the wind but he predicted wrong. And, took us twice as long to get enough pins for bait. Add to that a bildge full of water/heavy boat and it made for some tough fishing. BUT- fish were chewing at our regular spots and luckily mostly keepers with few shorts... can sometimes be short after short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Troy Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Nice work. Looks rough. Water temps dropping some so it should be getting better. I just need a weather window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
