Bay Fishing

On the water by about 7:00am and headed out of Gandy towards the St.Pete Pier area. We decided to tie on a few flashy spoons and troll down that way to see if we could hit a few Spanish macks along the way. BUT no luck. Once on our spots we hit the bottom with some live baits and found that we were getting hits almost immediately. We caught a few undersized mangrove Snappers and a Keeper Sheepshead. The Wave action was rough and we decided to move spots and see if we could find something with a little more action. One thing I've learned is "Never Leave Fish to Find Fish". Actually my buddy tells me that every time we are on the water. BUT since he wasn't there I didn't have that friendly advice. So we moved around and wouldn't you know it the fish weren't where we moved to. All in all not a bad day except for the wind and hopefully the water temperature will bump up a few more degrees and really turn the fish on. Water Temp 69.4
