placida pier

Posted by Hello
well sorry curtis, but i won at fishing yesterday. curtis decided to take me out to a pier i hadnt fished on before, the pier down in Placida. we got down there around 2.30 or so and fished for about 2 or so hours. curtis thought he was being slick and decided to use 2 poles at once while i just stuck to my one all afternoon. boy were the fish biting and there sure were plenty of them swimming around. i started out by catching a little jack at the same time curtis was pulling up a nice sized lady fish. so the games began, with the score at 1 to 1. then i got another, a good sized sea trout, 1-2 chachas in the lead. then i pulled in another sea trout, 1-3. curtis getting a few bites here and there was trying to snag a huge snook he saw taunting him down below the waves, but didnt pull anything up. then i get a bite, this was a big guy. i reeled in to see that it was a big ol jack. this guy was pritty big, and very heavy. having a light test line and a light pole, he broke off and got away. man i would have liked to have taken a pic with that guy. oh well. but it counted on my score which was now 1-4. so then i hit a patch of fish, getting little reds and another good sized sea trout. one of my catches is in the pic with me up above. i finally had a huge one on the end of my line and it broke off all my goodies, so i was done for the day. the score was at 1-7 and i gave curtis some time to catch up. well he wanted to beat me so he was going to cast right into the school of fish i had been picking from. all of a sudden he gets a nibble and hooks one.....only to pull up that little guy you see in the picture above. sorry hun, but i won this day. you always get the biggest catch of the day and bring in the most fish, but sunday was my day and i kicked your butt. hmm wonder what new pier we will fish off of next time.
