Took my youngest, Logan, out Saturday evening. We 1st went out to the pass and noticed it was purty calm so we ventured out a little. Tried to get to 1 spot to find a dive boat anchored so we ventured further out and it started to get rougher. We made it to the 9-10 mile mark before I could get to the next spot but did not feel comfortable w/ my little un on board so we headed back in. I'd say seas got 2-3 by 1900 or so. We came back in and saw a few boats around Ft. Pickens and anchored down. Didn't stay long then decided to try the channel at the ole fishing bridge. We anchored down and stayed until about 2330. We caught a few croaker (bait fer next time), an eel, black drum about 13-14 inches, a hard tail that tried to eat the mono on a shark rig. I'm not sure how he got his lips tangled in the mono but he did. Had shark rigs tapping all night but no runners (using chunks of bonita). When we decided to pack it in for the night, Logan reeled up my last rig and low and behold a small (foot - foot and a half) shark had bit into a big bait and I guess his teeth were stuck cause when Logan put the rod down it just swam off like nothing was up. The bay was even purty choppy when we headed in. Good to just get out and run the boat even ifin there was nothing to brag about....
