St. Pete YC Fishing Tournament

Each time out, we do a little trolling for Spanish mackerel and usually come up with one or two. We hit it right yesterday and put 14 in the box and lost another4-5 that gave us the slip. There are fish along the beaches, but they can be selective if and when they feed. We caught all these in about 1.5 hours.

Since the windy weather of the last week has left the water quite turbid, we have been bottom fishing for the humble grey snapper. Often overlooked and under rated as table fare, these hearty little fighters are a delight for everyone holding a fishing rod. We have been fishing in 40-50 ft. depths on limestone bottom.

The weather was absolutely perfect this morning for a nice trip out on the Gulf. We fished in 40-60 ft. of water with visability of 25 ft. and brought home a good amount of grey snapper and a black sea bass. Clients had a great time and a good adventure on the water.
