Went out Sunday morning early to turtle bay with my friend Bill.
First cast for me and Bill instant Hook up.
A Jack for me and Bill couldn't turn his fish.
So we chased it down but the line got cut.
We had non stop action for 2.5 hours.
We boated over 100 fish trout, lady fish, Jack's, catfish, grouper. We left after 5 hours with the fish still biting.
We hooked mostly lady fish.
I fished a jig
With a soft plastic and teaser Hook with a Grubb.
Had 5 double Hook-ups.

Sounds like you, and your buddy had your hands full. My dream is to get to go deep sea 🎣 fishing before I die. Closest I've come is once while in Miami a guy with a boat was taking me out for tarpin, but seas were too rough, so we had to stay in bay and fish for trout. Had a great time, but still not what i was wanting. Maybe someday! Have a great day Norman.

Morning Lee, there's lots of chartered boats out of Florida sounds like you need a little vacation and take that one off your bucket list 😂 I would find one that only takes three or four out at a time and you'll have a better time. 🎣🎣🎣

Yes, that would be nice, but unfortunately I'm on fixed income, sence my wife passed I'm kinda on a strict budget, and can't afford a vacation anytime soon. Thanks for the idea anyway Chuck.

Welcome to the Stage, Loom. If you are a Veteran, there are a few groups who may sponsor Vets fishing trips that you could be included in, MAYBE one in Georgia. I would try to locate one through my local VFW or American Legion. Can't hurt to inquire.

Hey Max, although i am a very supportive American, I'm not a veteran, but so grateful for everyone who is. But thanks for your information. Maybe someday i'll find a way to get to do some salt water 🎣 fishing.
