    Default Briny JuJu - Christmas eve


    Things got a little "jiggy" yesterday on the Best coast. Aside from taking a page out of Anchorman Vic's latest transitioning(I actually bought some live shrimp), I mainly chucked my normal plastic assortment.I had planned on targeting Sheepshead but they didn't avail themselves yesterday. The number of <18" Reds(30+) I boated yesterday was unprecedented by me. A true blast but none for the grill, although a surprise species(gotta love the salty surprise factor) was a fat 14.25" Flounder that was just right for the sandwiches I had in mind. The trout bite was "off the chain" and they are continuing to be fooled by the plastic offerings(will they ever learn, hope not, lol). Biggest salt speck was 17.5" with a nice amount >15". Full moon phase had a distinctly longer <-0.0 low tide influence making navigation
    exponentially hazardous. Another nice Brine blast on unequivocally Florida's best coast!

    Only as far north as SE GA, to VISIT family for a couple of days.
    Shoulder is progressing, but surgeon say getting in a boat is a BIG NO NO! See him again mid-January. I've been working hard at therapy, so, hopefully, I can get a reprieve from the boat-ban.
    I will continue to live vicariously through you guys.

    Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great day to me. Bet that flat fish put up a fight. Trout on light tackle loads of fun.

    Good, for awhile I thought that maybe you fell victim to the Crappie.com "hall of fame"!! After the last Monroe get together, you finding out that our koozie-famed guber = "Billbob" was living in a neighboring town from where you lived, thought maybe you moved back with hope's of your own autographed koozie with your picture on it!Briny JuJu - Christmas eve Briny JuJu - Christmas eve Briny JuJu - Christmas eve

    Nice fish Doug, especially that flat one. Already proven, I love me some smokin hot trout bite. My shoulders took til Friday to recover. Made work a real treat but worth every second. Glad to hear you had a good trip. Went for a few hours this morning and a sammich or two was all I could squeeze out of the river. 1 Crappie and him short. Cool start and zero boat traffic made for some relaxation beyond compare. Scalloped taters in the oven, showers for us both and the daughters at 4. Mama bought me a pair of illeniums for the other woman, comfort factor just went up. Merry Christmas Doug, have a super day.
