lickmyarmpit Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Got into our condo we rented for the week yesterday, got out today fished under a bridge for a little more than an hour. Caught six different species nothing huge but lots of cool looking fish didn't get pics if all of them but here's a few. Going out on a party boat tomorrow and a back country charter on sunday lots of pics and reports to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captpierre Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Gotta love saltwater. Never know what's on the other end. Then all of a sudden a shark comes and takes it all Have a great time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 saltwater is such an amazing experience...good luck tomorrow word of the wise, tip in advance when you're on the party boat, tip the captain or the first mate doing all the grunt work, preparing bait and rods....they'll hand you the rod when they hook up a good one all the party boats i've been on were basically bottom fishing, everybody had their own rod, with frozen bait....then they have a few kite rods or even just freelining livebait, herring usually....that gets the sail 99% of the time whereabouts in the backcountry? post pics cheers.

lickmyarmpit Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for the tips barefoot will do for sure. Chris I thought the first was a little jack crevalle (long fins spot on the gill plate and a sharp bony edge on the tail) second is a snapper of some kind a snapper mutton I believe. Other catches were yellowtail snappers , porgy,mullet and a bunch of grunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) First ones a Pompano and I don't know about the second, nice fish! That's not a Pomp, eyes are way too big as is the mouth.. Looks like Jack to me.. Vicious fish! Second is a red snapper.

timmeh Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Awesome stuff. Back country is great, light tackle for hard fighting fish. Try firing a gold spoon around just before sunset if you get the chance. Bridges can hold some big snook. As for the fish i think you've got a jack and a mangrove snapper.

BillM Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 My fav thing to toss in Florida is a Doc's Goofy jig and half a shrimp. Have caught pretty much everything on that.. Pomps, whitings, ladyfish, sheepheads, bonnet head sharks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lickmyarmpit Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 That's almost the same setup I was using, 1/4 oz jigs with half a shrimp. Live bait angling has to be done with a circle hook its a newer rule. Maybe I should try a marshmallow.........lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
