Mike Spanhel saw a break in the weather coming and took the opportunity to get his boat out for a long overdue run. He invited Dave Diehl, John Grieder, and me to do a day of fishing for Sheepshead. Our first drop was near or on Pasco 1 and it was not fruitful at all. There were several other boats in the area but no one appeared to be catching fish. The seas were dead calm with very little wind which was great considering it was still pretty cool. Mike decided to check out a spot 5 or 6 miles south and it proved to be a good one. Dave and Mike both had rot rods landing sheepshead, Gag Grouper and Hogfish. John caught his first Hogfish and was estatic. It was truely a varied chatch including red grouper, puffers, lots of grunts, hogfish, gag grouper, sheepshead and tile fish. As I recall we boated 5 keeper hogfish and had to throw back 7 gags as well as a good number of short sheepshead and hogfish. It ended up being a great day of catching by all. It is always great fishing and catching with friends. |
