Gotta Feed the Cat

Had a nice morning of fishing in the Indian River Lagoon. There was never a dull moment with jacks, ladyfish and trout hitting on various artificial lures. One enraged fish hit the chug bug like a freight train and ran for the dock. Barely stopped him thinking it was a snook but he turned into a jack. Good fun! Jim worked a big speckled trout to the boat and as I slipped the landing net under him the jig hook pulled loose. It measured 23”. Jim plans to make a few trout sandwiches but was more excited about feeding his cat the scraps. Apparently the cat lives for eating fish and especially likes trout.
