Florida

[Phil Lilley]

First morning and already some excitement. The water at the end at the pier is about 4 feet. Caught a sea trout first. Red/white jig.

Then a big school of I think amberjack came through busting along the bank. I hooked one and of course he broke off. 4 pound line. Hooked another and played him for a while. Then another dolphin came in and creamed the fish I had on...  

First morning...

Sounds like a great and eventful morning. Those are more likely to be Crevalle jacks since they tend to harass the inshore fish.

Nice speckled trout! Is that your first FL trout? Good luck on more fish!

Thats great to hear Phil!  You probably saw redfish, amberjack normally are offshore fish.

I figure redfish given the time of year.

Manatees crashing baitfish.  Or Narwhal. 😜  Maybe Croco-otters.
