Pine Island Sound - Lee, FL

Very choppy conditions at first light prevented live bait options so we shifted to all artificial and it paid off! First cast started the day off right with a slot trout hitting it as it landed. We escaped the wind and went with Plan C chasing trout on the grass flats in upper PI Sound before moving to Redfish spots a little further south. Trout continued to follow us as we sought out the slam landing one slot redfish at 22" and a monster redfish at 32". The 32"r gave us a run for our money darting around islands as we chased line under mangroves with the trolling motor. All in all we boxed 3 trout and 1 redfish and released another 15+ trout!

Gear & Tackle Used:

Gold Spoons, topwater and NLBN jigs on pearl and pinfish colors.
