Butterfly MoJo Alive in Florida

Well, the butterfly MoJo works here in Florida! I got to go out in the bay at Destin yesterday and fish with a good friend from Conway who recently moved down here. I had never done much saltwater fishing, a couple of charter trips is all, so we headed out early and fished hard all day with limited success. However, I was able to land this 27" redfish. My friend hooked and almost boated a couple of really large sea trout but lost them right at the boat. Everything else was small and not picture worthy, but it was a very enjoyable day on the water. Thank you, Lowell, for a great day!

I don't know what happened to the photos. They are not in the order I selected them to post.

Nice pictures, that butterfly has some good color in it. Them sea fish are fun sometimes to catch.

I like some salt water fishing. That's a good fish. Wish I was there.

Jet Setter...

That's one nice Red there Ski. Be careful that salt can be addictive.

Looks like a fun trip. Nice pictures

Book you a trip on the Sweet Jody out of Destin. It is an inexpensive open group charter boat , well worth it. Looks like your having fun out there. Crappie bite is on and getting better here.:biggrin

Those reds can be a blast to catch, and not bad eating on the grill. Looks like you are having a good time!!

I sure hope you made it to Ole Bay Steamers in Ft Walton. MRS DP and I had to go twice on our trip to Destin last August.

Haven't yet, but we may try that. Any recommendations, Don?

Nice fish Ski

this is one of the best place to eat there if you have not eaten there.
Home | McGuires Irish Pub and you can always kiss the Moose. They make some the best Bean soup and Hamburger the is there ribeye are out of this world.

We stayed on a seafood diet while there. Ole Bay Steamer, The Back Door, Dewey Destins, Crab Shack, we even took our pot and had a shrimp boil at our camp sight. I am really not a fan of any beach. But, I sure like the eating there. Lot's of stuff on the board walk I haven't tried.
PM me next time you go. But, I am sure I haven't found all of the good spots.

Thanks, dude! Sure was fun to catch! Going again next week with my friend. Nice to have a friend in Destin with a boat. We're gonna try the bay bridge between Destin and Ft. Walton again (didn't have Golden Croakers last time we were there) and also try to land some of those really nice Sea Trout we saw last week.
