Today was a beautiful day on the Pastime Princess out of New Smyrna, FL. The bite was a little slow but managed to get a couple mangos on the stringer and released a few red snappers. On the last stop of the day the captain hit it perfect. The mangos came up in the water and caught some slobs and one was about 15 lb which is the biggest one caught this season. Elli managed to add a mango to the stringer and a few vermilions and I got another yellowtail snapper to top it off.

Monsta Mangos! Way to go, Dwight.

Dwight: What pound test line do you use and how do you set up your weight and leader for these Mangos and Vermillion?
Thanks
Andy
You are definitely on a roll, Dwight! The Mrs. can catch em up too! Mac
Elli got 3 last week and one this week. She uses my rigs and a newell 332 on a sabre stroker. She starts the day fishing for vermilion and gets her limit on the stringer and then switches rods.
Hey Dwight, was that guy behind you part of the planned photo or were you fish bombed? :D ;D Dominick
James is a mate and showing my other stringer. He is a real nice guy and an excellent with the gaff and net. His wife can catch mangos with the Fl knocker rig with a light drift weight. She does not do well on the bottom since that takes more finesse and patience.
