got some sahrimp my gear , and my dad to try some land fishin.i only got 4 bites the whole morning, but it gets better. the first bite produced an ok jack, second bite produced a about a 24"snook wich managed to toss the hook while im tryin to grab em. oh well.
change spots, third bite lands a smaller snook.
a little later i see some tails in front of a dock thats blocked off(no fishin) and theres about 20 dock posts. i cast a shrimp the only place my position would allow, right next to a barnicle pole.the line goes tight, set the hook, and fish on,
make that heavy fish on,
makes a long run under and along all the docs,
somehow get him turned with my trout rod,15lbpp/20floro/1/0
and start backing up, eazin em out.i see some silver,
i holler, "dad, got one,...............big snook"
he takes a run to open water, i manage em back in close,right next to us he takes a leap, i yell out, its a tarpon. dads like " get em in, get em in"
he takes 2 more nice jumps then i get him to the little wall. i grab the leader and it breaks pretty easy. dang , no pic.
but still had a blast.and i think he was about 30+inches.
now i can add him to my list;}
here is the one snook
