I had to work an early shift and got done with work around noon. I got home loaded the car and headed to the Sun Glow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores. I got there around 2pm (after a quick stop for lunch) and started to fish as soon as I arrived.
For the first 2 hours all I caught were tiny pinfish by the dozen, but then things changed.
I dropped a large shrimp down by a pylon. The bait started to slowly move against the current so I set the hook and pulled up a 17″ flounder. The next catch netted me a 22″ red and then I followed that up with a 21″ red. The 22″ was kept and the 21″ was released to fight another day.
After the two slot Redfish were caught I landed 3 more under slot.
The sun went down and the fishing died off.
All in all a GREAT day on the water!
