SeaSerpent123 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Two of my closest friends are in town from elementary school with over 30 + years of friendship and still going. One lives here near me and the other is from Oregon. Well they wanted to go fishing and Flamingo was the destination. Bugs were not bad at all, really surprised by that to be honest. Ran out and hit a spot near and dear to me. Ended up catching about 6-7 smaller snook, 5 snapper and two reds. One of the reds was legal but stupid me tried lifting it over the side and pop….there it went to swim another day. Oh well, live and learn. I then decided to head south and follow the tide when we ran across a ton of birds diving. The offshore guy in me kicked in and for the next hour, we had a blast with Spanish mackerel. Sharks were bad but we were still able to bring some home. I know, they are not the best fish to eat but we are smoking them up tomorrow all day. In fact, they are sitting in brine right now. Good pics to follow. Hope you enjoy these first pics and videos. Another successful Flamingo trip in the books.

flatsdoctor Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I didn't However... about the Macks... I think that filleted, freshly (same day, like when camping) sautéed on butter, garlic and onions they're awesome !! Then anything fresh while camping is awesome!!😊 (even if you're camping in a hotel Dino 😄 ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I knew they were macks, I switched to the longest lures I had and it did the trick with out getting cut off. The lures were like 6 inches, or 5, something like that. lol What was fun was watching the sharks chase them all the way to the boat. Even caught a small bull shark at one point. Very fun day with old friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
