Mike with what would have been a real nice Spanish Mackerel!
| 10-03-11 MONDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, BLUES, JACKS, MARGATE, SNOOK AND REDS It finally feels like a fall day at the inlet. The temperature is wonderful and there is a breeze blowing out of the North-Northwest at 7 mph. The water is calm with a light ripple which is perfect for fishing. We have temperatures forecasted in the 80's all week! Fishing has been pretty good according to Tommy at the Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop. Tommy reported the weekend brought a real good variety of fish including Blues, Jacks, Snook, Reds, Margate and Spanish Mackerel. Today's photo and fish "tail" features Mike who was fishing the north jetty Wednesday when he hooked up with a 30"+ Spanish Mackerel he played for quite a while. Mike said it was one of the biggest and best fighting fish he'd hooked up with in a long time. After a great fight and getting the Mack close to the net, "BAM", a 5' Barracuda came flying out of the shadows and sliced the fish in half like a hot knife through butter! Unfortunately, Mike ended up with the half with no meat on it!! Mike said the Barracuda nailed his Mackerel and very satisfied, slowly swam away. Judging from the size of the head, that 'cuda had a real nice meal! |  |
