TAD Fishing for Tripletail At Indian Pass

Troy and his brother decided to go on a boys only fishing weekend for tripletail out of Indian Pass. They were on a mission to catch some tripletail and maybe a red fish or two.

Tripletail like to hang around buoys so my BIL designed what he calls a TAD – Tripletail Attracting Device.

And he’d created his own tripletail reefs.

Too bad that after all that work the only thing he caught was this sail cat.

Troy  landed the only tripletail.

It was too small so back it went and they returned to camp empty handed.

Saturday afternoon brought stormy skies, wind

And lots of rain.

Troy said the camper was rocking and the wind was blowing but they were well prepared to ride it out.

The storm moved on through Saturday evening and they were able to do a little fishing from the beach.

Where they caught nothing.

After spending Friday and Saturday together they decided they’d had enough brotherly bonding time and weren’t catching any tripletail. So, they called me to come over on Sunday and stay until Tuesday.

Which was really cool because I got to explore Indian Pass and St. Vincent Island.
