J reef trip report (29 April) seeing Red

[Sharkfighter]

FINALLY got my boat fixed and running right

Went to J reef with a pretty stiff wind from the north,,,,

As usual double hook ups of Black Sea Bass were the order of the day. 10 throwbacks for every keeper but with a 100 or so fish caught we went home with meat in the cooler

Caught a nice 25 inch Bull Red which
of course you cant keep and a 15 inch Red Snapper which we cant legally keep but SAFMC says they might open soon.

My partner caught a nice Remora but also not kept.

No Cobia, spadefish, kings , cuda or Spanish yet

 

[Day trip]

Did you specifically try the Spanish or kings? Or just hit the bottom?

Very nice day. Glad to see you back in action.

Didn't see an surface action at all ,,, didn't troll but had some live bait down.. that wasn't touched .. Just saw where a charter CPT loaded up on Spanish and a few bonita so that is why he the pro.

Going out again in two weeks if weather cooperates.
