There you go. I used to see a lot of Tripple Tail off Red Fish Pass, North Captiva on the stone crab traps years and years ago when I was running yachts. Never fished for them, too far from Punta Gorda.

My buddies here in the Cape do good on triple tail still. They said they should start showing up soon. Can’t remember if I mentioned before, but saw some on a flat in San Carlos bay. Paddled yak right on top of em. They were on sand against grass. Had never dreamed of them being on a flat. Pretty cool.

that's cool, its amazing what will run up on flats. I had a budy see some Bone Fish on a flat off Gasparilla island. In Charlotte Harbor big Cobia will be up there looking for rays.

Nice haul. I see flies landing on them, good sign. That means they don't have Ciguatera toxin if the flies land on them. That's how you know if a Barracudda is good to eat according to an old Bahamian years ago - he laid the filets out and if flies wouldn't land on it he'd throw it to the sharks, if they landed he'd eat it.

We caught reds and snook non stop today. Also caught a nice 23 in trout, one nice flounder and a huge black drum. We caught fish for about 3 hrs straight. We were heading out to try and target more trout but the wind kicked up and we were in a mud boat so we couldn't poke the nose out. Ill post pics later when im not so beat.

My father would feed a chunk to the cats. If they didn't eat it. No go...
