Could have easily chosen either of the above listed titles but all things considered, FfF truly captures today's fishing trip. 1st on today's 5am pickup @ Charlie's house, was a Crystal River diner Charlie highly recommended. After placing our bacon/egg/cheese/grits platter w/rye toast and java, I was scanning the pictures on the wall. Unbelievably, I see a never before seen by me picture, of a previous day response to a new thread I contributed "Play Ball".
After finishing the sumptuous breakfast, we headed to the game plan of besting our saltworthy opponents. About 200 yards before the ramp, on a sandy beach not 15 yards from us, sat the following eye/mouth-opening view.
This obviously was orchestrating a day I would not soon forget.
Both Charlie & I are very compatible in our finesse fishing style, but my 6' light tackle diminished his 7' medium spinning outfit. The day was appointed with numerous testimonials of properly/patiently used skinnier gear. The following attachments should easily prove that this day definitely had cardiologic evaluation moments!
1 Flounder >17.5", Cow-nosed ray(50 lbs.+-), 9 trout>19.25", 1 Cobia>28.25" plus catfish, ladyfish, jack crevalle, sea bass etc. Additionally saw two 30 - 40 lb Cobia that were on a disinterested surface cruise about 40 yards away. Charlie has distinct capability of catching jack crevalle(10-1)earning him the nickname "CrackAjack"
Also adding to the day's entertainment package was a luxury liner being towed in by Boat US vessel that was truly today's David & Goliath caption.
