Thread: Only In Florida

Went out this morning to try for a few specks & was in deeper water trolling toward the shore to find what depth the fish were holding. I came up on 6ft & my longest line out started bumping bottom then, wham a train on the other end, thought it was a moving log til' 4 of my 8 poles out became entangled at which point I just wanted to see what was on & behold a ray! Have caught one before cat fishing, but never tolling & this fella came armored with not just 1, but 2 barbs, as you can see in one of the photos, guess you just never know when fishin' Florida waters. Did manage a few specks as well, the 2 best a 13" & 12" released in 83 F temp at noon with the morning surface temp 81F.
