I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day. I fried my first Turkey this past Thanksgiving and it was delicious. Not only did I have a great Thanksgiving, but the fishing has been good, too. The surf fishing has started to slow down for me, but the ICW has been good to me. I've been catching nice flounder (up to 17"), specks (20"), and drum(20") consistently. Below are some pics. However, yesterday I went deep sea fishing for the first time off of Jax. My friend Liz and Shawn took my dad and in their 26' boat. It was rough riding in the beginning, but the weather turned around by the time we came back in. Shawn and Liz caught 3 red snappers (Shawn caught 2 monster red snappers)! I caught the lone grouper a 24 incher. We all caught our share of beeliners, grunts, and sea bass. 3 sharks, too! Liz was nice enough to give us her red snapper for mom to cook up (don't forget Shawn and Liz keep those snapper heads for my mom!). Had a great day deep sea fishing. Many thanks to Liz and Shawn for taking us out. My dad wants to go back because he's mad he didn't catch any legal size red snapper or grouper. Oh yeah, I was sure to take my Dramamine because it was rough and cold in the morning. I didn't want to take a chance and get sea sick!
