Went to the keys last week and was hoping to post some fish pics, never really happened as I was limited and on time (wife and kids had other plans). I did manage some snapper and jumped a tarpon but that lasted a few seconds. Anyways, back in town and the wind died down, was a bit breezy from Laura passing by. Got out on a high tide and just threw cut bait against the mangroves. Ended up with some nice Reds with one pushing 30” and a bonus 30” snook. I ended up breaking a rod, I was fighting the bigger red when my other rod went bendo, couldn’t get it out of the holder in time and it snapped at the handle. I ended up grabbing the rod as it was going overboard and tried to fight two fish at the same time. 2nd one ended up breaking off anyways. I emailed the rod company, hopefully I can can’t a reduced cost replacement as I doubt it’s covered under warranty.
