Reef/backcountry Fishing update 4/05/10
With spring break going on in the past few weeks I have been running almost every day. It is the time of year that backcountry fishing is coming into its own. Close to home this past full moon has pushed a lot of tarpon our way and most of the fish are in the10 to 30 lbs range
still hitting the reef on most trips as this has been the most solid bet. Inside fishing the patch has improved with ballyhoo starting to show up in the chum line. .. .. .. .. .. ..Mixed bag of grouper mostly reds and some strawberrys(they got to go back)
Spanish macks,assorted jacks,shark and a good number of grouper out there. . . .landed a 18 lb Black fin on 12 lb test. . . . . .
