Here's What I Caught

Here's How and Where I Caught It

I was fishing with a chartreuse Gulp swimming mullet on a 1/4 ounce 3/0 jig head. Casting up against a spartina grass island in the salt marshes, I was looking for flounder when this guy almost took the rod out of my hand. I did get some flounder, but only got my partner to take one picture and this one was it.

Advice

  • Be ready for any fish to strike
  • When fishing with a bait that attracts fish like Gulp, anything can happen.
  • Release what you won't eat the same day you catch it - let the water be your fish storage container!
