Hyrule Bass Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 nice. but i have a question. is the lighting there that crazy that in one picture youre pants look to have two different color legs, and the next theyre the same. whats up with that LOL Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 25, 2013 That is strange, didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I'm looking at the jacket, on the left side it appears to be a lighter color too............I wasn't the photographer. Have to catch another one tomorrow and get a better pic, the pressure is on.

Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted January 26, 2013 Super User Posted January 26, 2013 Awesome fish! The pants thing is funny too. Would have never noticed it if Red Earth hadn't pointed it out. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 26, 2013 Global Moderator Posted January 26, 2013 Nice 'cuda. Looks like you're half in, half out of a shadow of a building or something. Quote
Helluva_Engineer Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Nice catch! How'd you get him out of the water? I'd think he would tear up a pier net. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 26, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 26, 2013 We drop 12/0 weighted treble hook on a length of line. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted January 26, 2013 Super User Posted January 26, 2013 The pants thing, its the sun. Looks like sunrise, unless you were fishing the west coat of South FL. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 27, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 27, 2013 The pants thing, its the sun. Looks like sunrise, unless you were fishing the west coat of South FL. About 7:30 AM facing due east. Yesterday not a one showed up, casted for about 2 hours. Perfect wind, perfect tide, but ground swells muddied up the water (something out there in the Atlantic), but that's cuda fishing. I have never fished for a more wary fish with the smallest window of opportunity, not unusual to go weeks without even seeing one. Even though the hook up and landing ratio is quite small no other fish gives me a thrill like a larger barracuda, I've been casting surgical tubes for the last 10 years. Quote
0119 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 What a great looking pier! I wish our local govt.s put that kind of effort into facilities over here. Great fish Snook! Have any big Jack been showing up? They havent come into Charlotte Harbor in years. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 30, 2013 This is the way the jettied looked before the renovation 2 years ago, it was 2' lower with no guard rail, we liked it much better then. No nothing has been showing up, caught only 4 snook in the last month or so, and haven't seen a jack in ages, not even small ones. This has been a poor winter so far. I need to to a ride to your side of state and look for some redfish. Quote
0119 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah I can see why you liked it better then! I didnt see it as a jetty even from your first pics, I thought it was along the intracoastal waterway. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 30, 2013 Neither picture tells the full story, we have a sand transfer station there, it was removed and rebuilt a little further out on the jettie. With a large fish on we could climb down the side right on to the beach and land fish from the sand. Years past we could get some of the fish underneath the cable, now it's another few feet up so I've been using just a little heavier rod to do so. We have a second jettie on the other side of the inlet it's very tiny, was redone as well.........that side is where the bigger snook and tarpon lay. Quote
