sweet fish! must have been hard to boat it solo.

LIGHTS OUT · 01-02-2007, 11:43 PM

Adrenaline is an incredible thing.

Where do you fish out of?

pelagic predator · 01-02-2007, 11:46 PM

live in naples but we trailer over to miami and fort lauderdale to fish.

LIGHTS OUT · 01-02-2007, 11:56 PM

Long drive but last night probably seemed well worth it. I've never fished on the west coast and my wife's family lives out that way. Too long of a trailer ride for me. Long runs to fishing grounds over that way? What do you usually fish for over there?

pelagic predator · 01-03-2007, 12:30 AM

snook, and kingfish near shore sometimes people run out to 90 or 120 miles,sometimes you get dolphin out there we did it once and got a couple dolphin and a small shark. But fishing out there is rarely good. Backwater and beach, and nearshore fishing is your best bet.

Sounds like you guys had a great night, kudos. I was never able to guesstimate propper weights so one night I decided to weigh 2 fsh I caught at lhp. 65 and 69" respectively and they were fat as a cow LOADED WITH SQUID and they weighed in at 139 and 163 lbs. If i posted without weighing, I prolly would have said 175 and 225 easy.

You guys had a great night

pelagic predator · 01-03-2007, 02:36 PM

the 60 incher's belly was loaded with squid and she was pretty fat.
