Fishing structure with artifical baits has be paying off. this big boy took the bait and the fight was on! The Bull red got aroud part of the structure. My client could feel the line rubbing against the structure. I manuvered the boat around the structure and the Bull red came out. I quickly loosened the drag and moved the boat away from the structure. By then the Bull was getting tired. My client work him gently to the boat where I netted him. After a quck picture it took several minutes to revive the Bull before i released him. It felt great to watch him swim away.

We had the best time fishing with Mr. Early! He is so patient and made the experience wonderful for kids and the adults. We caught a ton of fish!! He made it so easy and fun. Mr. Early even cleaned the fish for us when we returned to the dock and we took it home for a delicious fish dinner that evening! Highly recommend a fishing experience with Mr. Early! It was the highlight of our trip in the 30A area!!!
