Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. The weather was just too good to pass up the chance to get out on the water and fish so I invited Dave Taylor to join me for a day of inshore fishing.  We headed out and started fishing the spoils south of the Anclote River and managed to land a few Mackerel.  We caught the ususal lizard fish, puffers and black drum so we ventured into shallow water near Howard Park and continued north to the Tiki Hut at the North end of Anclote Key with no luck on Trout.  It was warm but the wind was starting to pick up and Dave had never been up the Anclote River, north to Rt 19 so we headed up river looking for snook and trout.  We didn’t find either but we did tie into a bunch of ladyfish which provide a lot of fast action.  We finally called it a day and headed in.  It was another great day on the water with a good friend, you just can’t beat that combo.
This fish was either caught during a closed season for this species or was under or oversized for the slot but was released after being photographed. Yes
