Wanaflatsfish Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 You didn't specify who in the pic was the big ugly ? I'm assuming the fish Great job...did you get your record on the 8lb tippet ? dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donh Posted July 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Thx Dino. Think the jury is still out on the big ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Plenty of big uglies to be caught in the Glades, donh! Most of the schools I've seen have plenty of 20+lb fish. Have your guide (Capt DeWalt) hunt them down for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donh Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Those I caught Friday were in 20 feet of water. When they start schooling in shallower water where I can sight cast to them I’ll be putting the long rod on those critters. Biggest I caught up there on fly was 17 pounds but there are 30 pounders around. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donh Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 What price glory! Next target is 12 and 20 tippet on fly. It should take only one trip ( I hope). That’s the challenge. Friday soecifically targeted the 8 # mono record. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donh Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thx. Haven’t seen it lately but in February they were schooling like crazy in a couple of locations. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
