05-11-12 FRIDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, SHEEPSHEAD, SPOT PORGY'S AND JACKS
The wind has picked up considerably, this morning it's blowing out of the East-Northeast at 18 mph and gusting to 21. There is a moderate chop on the water. There is still a lot of baitfish in the clean, clear water and schools of fish can be easily spotted from the north jetty. Spanish Mackerel, Spot Porgy's, Jacks and Sheepshead were the main catches yesterday, although it was still hit or miss.
Our photo today is of Juno Pier's VERY OWN "Big Dave" Hartwell of Juno Beach. Dave was fishing the north jetty using a white crappie (speckled perch) jig to land several Spanish Mackerel. Dave had a contest with a Barracuda that was lying in wait, to see if he could reel in his Mackerel before the 'cuda nailed it. Dave won that battle.
