Solo trip. Was running late this morning and got to start fishing about 8am. Dropped in at Haulover Canal Ramp & fished the bank on my way out to Mosquito Lagoon. Landed a decent snook before I even got the go pro rolling or had my trolling motor in the water. Just happened to see him on the bank and made the quick cast.
Ran North a bit and cut across to the East flats and pondered around for about an hour. Wasn’t seeing much until a dolphin broke water behind me causing a scene. I thought “thats my sign to leave” but moments later I noticed it wasn’t mullet but a huge school of Drum he had chased right into me.
Between the dolphin & myself the drum could not find peace which made it even more challenging because they were more worried about surviving than eating. Within half an hour I found two opportunities and hooked up. As you see in the video both times slipped the hook at the boat.
Next time!
