Well...the forecast was complete garbage across 3 sites saying it would be a bad fishing day. You gotta get out and make it happen! Mack's off Greenbacks, jack off paddletail, and some mango snaps and flounder not pictured off Greenbacks as well. Go get ya some!👊

Whew! Stuck a 3/8 oz jighead right in me this AM to start the day! Uggh. I decided to walk around and fish still because they were hitting lol. Luckily a fishing friend showed up and pulled/cut it out of my leg cuz I didn't want to goto the ER and ruin my fishing session lmao. We nailed some Mack's and flounder on Greenbacks and called it a day. Be CAREFUL out there👊
