found them this AM! What a show! But they were ***very*** picky I threw the box that them but We got a couple (around 25#). I would like to know what you guys got them on. They were jumpping 3-5' clear of the water, some doing acrobatic flips.

Well my " snubbed by " list goes on, I guess I can add sbft to that that list. I was happier when I thought they were albies as they are arleady on the list and it wouldn't be as frustrating! I'll have to wait and see if they stay around till Saturday and we'll have at-em again.
I have got to figure out a way around this workin for a livin thing!

Who says August is a slow month for fishing?

(gotta get that spooge off the lense)

BTW, the DMF has guys out checking for permits... He has already nabbed a few guys. He confiscates everything....all your gear. I don't know if he can take your boat but he takes the fish and all your tackle and you get a stiff fine . He is not giving you much wiggle room to claim you "didn't know" about the permit. No warnings I heard.

Bring Jumpin Minnows or Yozuri Hydro Pencils for sure. If they're really horned up it won't matter what you throw; they can be less picky then bluefish at times but really tough other times.

For an example of how critical having topwaters is, me and a friend of mine were fishing metal one evening and caught 2 fish despite the fish being up constantly.

2 other friends were in a different boat throwing topwaters and they took 20 fish over the same 4 hours.

If you get legit shots with whatever you're throwing and don't hook up several times in a row don't hesitate to change what you're throwing.

Mr. Sandman . . .

. . . thanks for those photos! I for one LOVE to see those kinds of pictures, any pictures of fish and fishing, it is like porn to me. Especially seeing SBFT as I've never seen them jump before. Thanks again for sharing, it must have been even more wondrous to see it in real-life.
