I don’t know a single person who participates in wanton waste, no worries there. I’ll have a fish fry in a week or two with the neighbors, and we sent a bunch home with some guys from Fl who can’t keep trout. Me and my partner, at MOST we’ll keep 3 trout every other trip (before last years freeze)…our trout fishery is in poor shape. I don’t fuck with reds but we’re in good shape there. I don’t catch many flounder because I’m a spook junkie, but will keep when I do because they are delicious and they are in good shape. Now, for the paradise. Most of these were pics I took of our partnering skiff. Hope I’ll get some from my buddies snapping some of our skiff. I can only recall a few fish out touts, everything else is spooks and skitterwalks. Big ass bull on spook jr Back to doing what bulls do This was first 4 hours. Final tally for the AM was 88 trout, 14 reds, 9 flounder and 2 pompano. I think our 2 skiffs made up for all but a handful of the fish. We didn’t keep under 15” unless the fish was in bad shape. You were either on them or it was tough, tough fishing. Wx went from 0 to 10 out of N at noon, to 22 out of N by 1600. Moved to Cat island that afternoon and fished around there. Picked some fish up here and there but wasn’t anything like Chandy, though that pressure spike probably had them on lock. Left a deposit for first week in Oct ‘24. Overall was a good trip. Sucked we only got to fish about 25% of what we should have, and once you were on them there wasn’t any stopping. I’ve been wanting to make this trip since I got a copy of plugger when I was a teen, but can’t fight Wx. It’s hard to imagine how much pressure these fish are under out there and still so plentiful. While a good day for our 2 skiffs, this wasn’t anything for overall charter. Mind bottling.
