That one looks large. I heard from a local commercial fisherman (facebook) that they hadn't seen so many very large Spanish.

Yeah one was pretty good sized but it was the exception rather than the rule.

Nice pictures. The Spanish definitely have shown up. We got into them yesterday out of Ocean Isle.

What time of day are you guys catching spanish? I can't get out at first light this weekend but I can be out there mid morning.

We always go at daybreak but we've caught them early and later in the morning on our trips so far.

We caught ours from first light to 11 am. After that the bite shutdown considerably.

I never done a whole lot of Spanish fishing, but the biggest ones I ever caught were while Bonita fishing in mid April- May... after that they were always smaller. Like I said though, I was never a hard core Spanish fisherman.

We usually catch the bigger ones later than that but once in awhile we find ourselves in a school of smaller fish. We call that the nursery and we move on out of that spot.

Just jig a spoon deeper, they're usually still there they just seem very light sensitive, jig deeper water.
