On Saturday I was joined by an old friend who lives in Seattle now. Steve was in Philadelphia on business and had contacted me about getting together and possibly doing some fishing. He and his son had joined me in the Everglades for a week back in 2008. I brought a filet knife and cutting board with me in case the bunkers were still thick. I figured I’d give strips a try. I put a 3/0 circle on the end of a fish finder rig. Because of the circle hook I found it easiest to leave the rod in the holder and let the fluke munch the strip. It worked well. I only caught 7 fluke but 3 were keepers. One was just under too. I liked using the bunker as Gulp! gets very expensive and the bunker are free. I was hoping for flukezilla but didn’t get any over 20”. Steve got about the same number of fish with his keeper being 19”. It was a great time and we brought home some great eats. |
