Clearwater Beach Fishing

We headed out of Seminole Boat ramp and thought we would just play around on the beaches and fish a little. We had a Live well full of shrimp and we really were looking to catch some flounder. We also wanted to catch a few Blue Runners in the event we made it the top of Honeymoon Island we could do a little shark fishing. So we headed straight for the last marker out of Clearwater pass and circling around the marker were about 6 keeper sized Cobia. We immediately through a few live shrimp towards them. But the Cobia were'nt the only thing in the water I was lucky and landed about a 19" Spanish mackerel and then we hooked a few Flounder. The rest of our hits cut our line immediately since we weren't expecting the Spanish to be that thick we weren't running wire leaders. The Cobia were more reluctant or should I say elusive. We did hook a few Blue runners though and we headed for the beaches. We ended up in Hurricane Pass and wade fished. We landed another Flounder and About 5 fish that looked like a type of drum but were extremely silver and had a black marking on the back of the top tip of their Tail. I will post pictures when I get them downloaded. Seems like the fishing is picking up and this next weekend shoudl eb one of the best yet. Tight Lines
