Gulf of America (Caladesi Island-Crystal Bay)

Happy gnarly conditions Monday. Sheesh...30 mph wind gusts from the NW had me hiding behind mangroves just to feel my line lol. Did manage a nice speck though. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th pic are manatees and Tarpon escaping the cold water at the Teco power plant yesterday. No you can't fish there lol. Get out there if you dare!🤣🤙

My first lizard fish!

Happy Monday! Back in town, had to stop at the causeway and see what's up. Nabbed 14 trout(8-18), and a red(17). All on Slam Shady Mulligan and 1/4 oz jighead. PS...there's a pic of a Dolly Varden crab(calico) that was in the low tide line. We don't see those much around here. Cool beans! Get up and grab your rod!🤪🤙
