It's Like Counting Sheep To Sleep...
Good bye winter! Hello spring timeI I’m not a winter fan at all...don’t get me wrong I will fish during the winter but I love spring time. The fish start moving out of their winter hideaways and start to move to their spawning grounds and they are hungry. This time of year can be very productive and exciting time of year for fishing. I like to head out to the Gulf of Mexico and fish the river mouths and offshore Shallow water areas for sea trout, pompano, sheepshead, tarpon, cobia, grouper, and all types of other fish. So me and good friend Mike decided to head out in search of some hungry fish. We loaded up the Epic Tails with all our gear and made our stop at the local bait store to load up on pinfish and shrimp and off we went to Everglades National Park. It was going to be a beautiful clear blue skies and very little wind... it was going to be great. We made the run out to the Gulf and saw a majestic sunrise as we headed out.
As we neared our fishing spot we could see the water was a beautiful clear light green color and the tide was about to change. There was very little current and the fishing early was slow just a few blue runners and jacks that made their way to the live well for the monsters later. But the tide was about to change and we knew the fishing would pick up. We were using our lighter set ups our Quantum reels loaded with Bullbuster 30Lb braid and using 40-50 Lb Bullbuster Floro. We were catching nice jacks and a few blue runners and bluefish. We were weeding our way through these fish before we started to catch some different fish. I was bouncing jig heads with live shrimp on the bottom to see what was lurking in the deeper water and then I felt a nice hit...as I reeled in I could see through the clear light green water that I had a nice sheepshead! Sheepshead are great eating...I was very happy!
We kept throwing the jig heads with shrimp in the same general area bouncing it off the bottom and one after another the sheepshead kept coming! Mike was getting into the action to and started catching some real nice sheepshead and they were getting bigger! We also started to notice as we threw the jig heads out on their way to the bottom we were getting hit by pompano. I love pompano they are a beautiful fish and are great eating! One of the most tasty fish you can eat. The pompano could not resist the live shrimp jigged in the middle water column.
The sweat was coming down my face and my hands were tired and sweaty...no fighting belt for me....this was mano a mano combat....hand to hand combat. But the big bull won he cut me off....I rarely use steel and instead use Bullbuster 200-300 lb leader with circle hooks and it usually works out but not today....that’s the way it goes sometimes. Sometimes you win sometimes you loose, but we were not sad we had plenty of fish in the cooler and we were going to eat good for the next few days....fresh pompano and sheepshead. The bull shark ate to...lol. Everyone ate great that day. Remember Spend More Time Fishing and order your fishing line @ www.bullbuster.net
