Mike Spanhel invited Frank Bellizio, Stu Johnson and Terry Reelitz for a planned day of ‘Hog Hunting’ salt water style. A spectacular Super Full Moon lit the way to boat dock accompanied by a stronger than forecasted winds – I know that is a surprise! The incoming tide was ripping pretty well, as was expected, the Tidal Coefficient was well over 100 because of the Full Moon. Started the day in +40’ of water and the bite was on quickly with above average Grunts, the second spot held Grunts and the Hog bite started. Frozen shrimp and squid was the bait of the day, sardines were dunked through out the day but did not entice any bites. Several short Red Grouper were caught along with a Gag, these all caught on frozen shrimp as well. Through out the day, about 15 Hogs were caught with 6 being legal, the largest was +16”’ – a rather good outing. Tide went slack about 1:00 PM, so the crew decided to head in, clean the boat and fish and call it a day. Thanks Capt. Mike – a good time was had by all!
