Went down to Ruskin to cockaroach bay on Friday. Started out at 6:30 am trying to catch some greenbacks on the flats with my favorite chum, catfood and jackmack mix . NOT a dang bait in site. I threw the net and got about 200 medium sized pinfish. I put them in my well and went out to the tower in deeper water to try to chum some greenies to the top and not one in site. So i just fished with the pinfish and oh boy did it work. In the first hour we caught 4 snook about 20''- 26'' range just to the left the of channel markers by the mangroves and with a small redfish about 12'' long. We moved around some to a couple of coves i know always hold fish . We caught a nice keeper redfish about 25'' and a another throw back about 17''. We went off shore to the shipping channel and hooked up with a couple big mackeral. Suprisingly still on the pinfish. I used a white Doa with red tail on the flats and caught a couple nice keeper trout and a jack crevelle in the mix.
