Tampa Bay Inshore Slam Saturday
08.17.08
MY friend, his brother and I went out yesterday to try and put his brother on some fish. We went out in the afternoon to fish the outgoing tide. I picked up some pinfish on the way just to make sure we had some bait. We went to a spot we normally pull something out of and didn’t get much of a bite at first. I pulled in a nice trout but the bite was really slow. We headed out to check some other areas and wound up getting some nice greenbacks of the old faithful pylon we normally check for bait at. We wound up heading back to the original spot with the new bait and the action was a lot better. I pulled in 3 redfish and 2 trout. My friend got an Tampa Bay inshore slam with a trout, snook, and a red. He caught a few more and almost had a double. His brother wound up catching 3 snook and a catfish. Before this trip he had only caught one snook so that was pretty cool. I wish I would have gotten a snook to get my own Tampa Bay inshore slam but the fishing gods didn’t allow it that day. Maybe next time.
