THAT'S 42 "TEENERS" and 13 GIANTS over 20 pounds with a 24.5 pound MONSTER!
Water Level: Water levels were terrific on our first week with some awesome fishing!
Baits Used: Lures of choice for this trip were Woodchoppers, High Rollers and Jigs.
Owner/Operator, David McCarthy attended this trip. He commented on the excellent water conditions and the fish were staging themselves on the primary and secondary points leading into the lagoons and off the main channels.
I'll be on the Belle myself through 10/19 and will report in detail and with photo's on my return.
Good fishin'
