Mini summer report out and about

A few weeks ago i went out to the keys to fish the bridges, keep in mind that this is a solo report so i did the best i could with just my iphone in hand, eventually having a dead battery later in the day.

I got to the bridge early morning right before the tide switched i was able to work out a few pinfish and some ballyhoo

i later put out a pinfish in hopes for a grouper but i couldnt keep the nurse sharks away

Before the tide started going out i worked a tubelure up and down the bridge i got 1 cuda to hit the tube!

i put out bait but was not successful with any sharks, sharks were not biting must have been the full moon the tides were strong!

Later on i floated out some ballyhoo i couldn't keep the tarpon off them they were not letting up

I ended up catching 3 tarpon the last one i walked to land it for a good picture but my phone died in the process a few locals helped me with pictures but i never recieved the pictured over all it was a good trip!

i got home the next day and decided to hit the beach's for a few days i worked the bait pods and ended up catching some nice snook


later on in the day my buddy matt called and said he wanted to soak some baits, we ended up hitting the beach



i dropped 1 bait and caught this solid bull a few hours later, the bugs got really bad that night and ended up chasing us off the beach, hopefully i can get back on the board with more catches soon ive been working third shift this year so sharking has been tough! thks again scott
