Sunrise St James city  Luv bugs! Huge shark This will be avenged!  Spanish Mack.  Sunrise on Pine Island Sound We went out early at sunrise and caught pinfish with cast net. Caught a few bait fish Worked this red out from under the mangroves off the canal.  27 inch He was right under the mangrove in center of this picture. Took 20 mins to get him to take the pinfish on a popper and #4 circle hook. 20 # test fluro leader and 30# braid on a 3500 penn reel.  Jean netted the fish after a good fight in 3-4 ft water. We were less than a 1/2 mile from our dock back in the mangroves on a kayak trail with rising tide.
