Rubbing salt in old wounds
« on: December 21, 2011, 07:25:45 PM »
Vampires come out at night (makes rabbit fangs from MP&tHG with fingers)...   

they also get tempura battered with sesame seeds, ginger, and a bit of red chili flakes, but that's a different story.

Reds come out when the wind don't blow. More soon.

Travis, yeah, on the ICW.

Steve, the weakfish fillets were just rubbed with crushed fresh ginger and a bit of salt, cut into strips to keep thickness consistent, tempura battered, and flash fried. Sauce was red chili flakes, vinegar, sugar, and a bit of salt. Nothing fancy.

I played a bit in the lower Ap today. Found reds.

Couple of them were even pretty decent sized.

Also found a whole lot of smallish hybrids and spent a couple hours getting my thumb shredded...

until I set a clouser into something that didn't give and which started to move downtide at a good clip... turns out I'd tangled with Garzilla.

Heck of a Christmas present, even two days early.

Light north winds meant a flat surf and wind from my back, so I dinked around with the four weight on the beach for a couple hours this morning. Whiting and croaker were more than willing to jump all over surfperch flies left over from my west coast days...

Hey Yoda,

I've heard that bonito are around over that way but I haven't seen any here; if the winds allow you could probably get out to them... This cold front coming through tonight may push reds and trout further up the rivers, but probably won't drop water temps that much. I'd be tempted to mix up sight fishing to smaller reds in the intracoastal, back bays, and lower portions of the Choctawhatchee and dredging around the passes for bulls. Watch for birds wherever you go! Good luck!

...and I just checked the NOAA forecast, we ought to be golden!

THURSDAY
NORTHEAST WIND AROUND 5 KNOTS...BECOMING SOUTH IN THE

SEAS 1 FOOT OR LESS. PROTECTED WATERS SMOOTH TO A LIGHT CHOP.

Nice work Dave!  That gar - spotted?  Or long nose?  I have caught gar in a tidal creek at my folks' place in Fort Myers & wondered what species is down there...

Sorry, missed your question. Longnose. Lots of Florida gar down your way, I think longnose drop out a bit north of there.

Was freight trained by a mega-bull red today, got him to the surface where he saw the boat and took off towards some pilings... that's a 1/0 Dai-Riki #930.

I'd beat up his kids earlier, sent them back home without even the shrimp cocktail they thought they'd signed up for.

Spent a couple hours on a seemingly endless school of hybrids, most smallish but a few up to 7-8 lbs.

This deer decided to go for a swim. River's only about 300 yds across here, but the tide was cranking. She made it.

Also found a nice houseboat for sale. Fixer upper. Great view. Fishing both inside and out...

Hours of 7-8# hybrid sounds awesome.  Thanks for the TR Dave. ;)

Spent yesterday inland chasing some fish for a research project, and wound up getting back to the coast just before dark. I couldn't resist stopping at a boat ramp where the ICW meets the Gulf. The incoming tide was pushing schools of bait into the mouths of hungry trout and snapper blues, and for a couple hours it was almost a fish on every cast. Nothing huge, but what an awesome way to end the trip.

I got a late start this morning, getting packed, doing laundry, etc. Finally headed northward and got to hit a Apalachicola trib for shoal bass for an hour or so before dark. Managed a nice largemouth, a couple chain pickerel, and one of my target species. Cool fish, they pull even harder than an equivalent-sized smallmouth!

River bottom is hook-grabbing eroded limestone -- I must have lost two dozen streamers. Don't visit during the winter when fish are hanging deep!
