Got up way too early and made it to the bait shop at 5:15. No shrimp, truck hadnt arrived yet. Waited around until 5:45 when bait truck arrives. Got bait, drive to boat ramp and launch. Pull cord on my Merc promptly breaks while struggling to start it. Back on trailer, drive home, fix pull cord, hook up hose, yank on motor until it finally starts and runs. Restarted 3 times with one pull. GRRRRRRR.
Back to ramp, launch at 8am. Fished the large pilngs around the Gandy Bridge in Upper Tampa Bay. Caught a pile of short grey snapper, two keeper grey snapper, a couple of lane snapper, a grunt, a pile of jacks and a couple of nice Spanish mackerel. Ran out of shrimp around 11am, left them biting.
Fish tacos for dinner tonight, back at it tomorrow morning!
