Check this out. Dropped down on the Rankin last mon. Saw a big school of AJ's all decent size. Picked one out and took a shot. Wasn't a kill shot and he was spilling blood. As I was getting him on my stringer his "grandaddy" kept cruising by. I got my gun reloaded and got a shot on him as well. Didn't kill him either...just seemed like I pissed him off. I had quite the rodeo going on with these 2. The big on 44" the smaller one was 30".

We spent the week hunting up and around Ft Pierce. Saw a number of Manta rays and with them came the cobia. Vis was really low all week. Never could get a shot on a cobia but one of the other guys hit a monster that pulled his shaft right off his gun (he should've been using stainless steel cable like me!)

We were aboard Spellbound out of Riviera Beach Marina in WPB.
We hook up with Doug twice a year to do a week up and down the coast. Same group of guys.


I have hunted the Gulf, out of Panama City on several occassions but never got to the middle grounds. One of these days I'll get there. Will probably have to wait until I move to Fla somtime in 2004.
