Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

We fished some shallow water this morning with redfish moving everywhere. When that second fish came up and spanked the Zara Spook it looked like someone had thrown a cinder block on top of it. We were in water just a little over a foot deep which made it hard to believe the size of the fish we caught. The first was a mere 16 inches long. Figuring all of the fish would be that small I continued on coaxing my clients into casting on all of the moving fish. Much to my suprise the second fish was 33" and a pig. The third fish, another pig, was 31". We watched tailing fish and fish moving all morning. Unfortunately, I dunked my camera which means there are no pic's today. Second camera this year...sux.

Later we moved onto the spanish hole and finished the day with a bunch of big spanish. Great day and lot of good fish.
