Great morning!

Started an hour or so before the sun began to make an appearance but didn't manage to pull a single fish. Sounder was marking well but no hits. As soon as some light began to show, the bite was on and it didn't slow for some time.

6-8 feet of water majority of morning, long lining. Trolling motor died and we ended with 46 keepers. Wish I would have taken some pictures with fish on the measuring stick. These pics don't do these fish justice.

****Trolling .8 mph against current, 1.4 with current. Double jigged, 1/16th road runner with chartreuse tail on bottom jig then a 1/32 assorted colors on the top jig about 8 -12 inches above bottom jig.****

Great report. Love me some Roadrunners. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, great report. That’s a bunch more fish than I like to clean, but I’ll bet the freezer looks good right about now. Glad to see you got into em and had a fun time with em, and a big Welcome from Debary, just above Lake Monroe.

Monroe isn't too far off where i picked up these guys. Been wanting to take a day and try Monroe. Freezer is looking great, also thinking I need to invest on an electric knife hahaha

That's a fine take, hopefully that Phantom fella reads this & rethinks the double rig set up, it works good, just have to consider how far back & weight each pole is & you will eliminate any tangles, unless there's wind to contend with, but well worth it, Sweet!!

I have had real good luck with my BubbaBlade. Great quality and it gets the job done!

If you need an electric fillet knife go to Wal-mart to the kitchen appliance and supplies area and get the Black & Decker electric knife for $15.00. I guess they have it in the kitchen section as a turkey/ham carving knife but it is an excellent fish fillet knife. I have filleted hundreds of specks with it and had no issues. Works as good as any of the expensive electric fillet knifes I have owned.

Hmm I'm going to give this a try. Sure as heck beats dropping $100 + on one although I do love Bubba blades.

havent been able to get my Bubba Blade even warm yet which has always been ab issue with others!
6mm may be onto something but i'll stick with my Bubba Blade and also they make it with a Lithium battery (I have no experiance with that one)

good catch. but a lot to clean. but it is worth it.

Nice catch/share, TY! One respectful recommendation = That backstrap "bullet" (pictured behind the eyes) is something worth aligning your blade-angle for!:twocents:ThumbsUp

Thanks! Do you still run a straight line off that angle or start with that angle and then go down after you capture that section?
