Dunedin Causeway 8/26

[Diresword]

Went out to the Dunedin Causeway after getting a few pointers from Montylfl on targeting Mangroves out there. I have never fished Dunedin for Mangroves, always caught smaller ones when bait fishing. So, my uncle and I went out there with some greenbacks for cut bait around 4 pm to see if we couldn't snag into some. Man the fishing was one fire! We fished from 4pm - 7pm and finally got chased off by a fast moving in storm. What did we catch the most? GROUPER! No keepers, but we ended up catching about 15-20 grouper ranging from 10 - 18 inches. Ended up getting 4 keeper mangroves and 2 decent sized white grunts to take home for dinner. We got to meet Monty, which was a pleasure! Can't thank him enough for the tips out there and will surely be a return trip in the near future, as it is only a 10 minute drive! Thank you again Monty, the success we had was thanks to you!

Haha, was that you in the blue kayak cruising up the by the seawall, with a trolling motor on the back?

I didn't even really know the mangrove snapper were out there (At least keepers) I saw the post from Montylfl that he was catching mangroves out there. Got some tips, went out there with cut greenbacks, and were slamming mangroves and to my shock grouper. That day we caught like 15-20 grouper. All of them were undersized, but was fun fighting them out from under that bridge.
