A good weekend...

Went to Port Mansfield this past weekend to fish a tournament. I caught a nice 30 inch red (got to use my tag before it expires this week), a 22 in red and several specks 16-20 inches. They were all hitting the Gulp! hard, bending popping corks and tearing the lures. Also hooked into a giant stingray for a long 45 minute battle on light spinning tackle. The water was a perfect clear green the entire time, light wind, the best conditions we have seen in a while. Everything was out- sea turtles, dolphins and even some tarpon (who did not seem interested in our little lures). Didn't win anything in the tournament, but came home with some tasty fillets.

Any day fishing is a good day! Glad you were able to get out. We had the same here off the west coast. The winds and storms laid down long enough to get us out and get some grouper in the boat. Good job with the red and other tasty morsels. Your stingray episode sounds like my shark episode...;)
