The second time I've had Some WV folks onboard and they are some of the nicest people around! Today I had Steve Hamerick and his wife aboard- We set out with livewell full of shrimp and mullets. The first stop we caught a big bonnet head shark and then we moved to find a 7+ pound sheepshead and a couple of really nice trout. Steve had mentioned catching a redfish and so we went on a quest to catch a big one. We had already caught some really small red fish and I wanted to see him hook into a big red. A couple of stops later it was on! Steve finally got the 28" fish in and we snapped a few photos and then released it.
After lunch we picked up their son Dakota and his friend Justin. I wanted to target some flounders so they could get the inshore slam and we did just that. Dakota caught a 3+ pound flounder his first cast and then everyone ended up catching flounder- I think we had 8 for the afternoon- we released all of the fish - except one I kept for dinner!
What a great day!!!

BIG SHEEPSHEAD!
