I went out fishing yesterday in a friends 19' Key West out of Alligator Point 6:30am temperature was 49. It was a little windier than I was hoping but for some reason there was only light chop no waves. I caught a red on a top-water and he shook loose at the boat, but I looked out on the gulf and saw flocks of birds tightly bound diving in 3 groups so I put a 5" gold spoon and headed out first cast in the school of crashing fish caught a 36" tarpon but drifted away from birds so put the spoon out an trolled by the group at 5mph and caught a nice Spanish Mackerel. I did this many more time with similar result I caught 12 fish all good size but only kept 4 because that was all I needed and it doesn't taste good after being frozen. Didn't have camera on a the boat sorry but here is back at my house:
