Bimini Bay Resort and Marina Images by Captain Jon Cooper









































































































































































One of the highlights of this trip was the day we fished the mouth of Bimini inlet. The boat traffic had no effect whatsoever on the fishy action. The incoming tide was perfect for my 1/2 ounce Spro prime bucktail jig, which I favor in white. At times, I tippped the jig with shrimp- other times, I fished it "pure." Here's what we caught on these great lures:
*Horseye jacks to 8 pounds.
*Bar jack to 4 pounds.
*Mangrove snappers to 3 pounds.
*Margates to 3 pounds.
*Schoolmaster snapper to 2 pounds.
*Silk snapper to 3 pounds.
*Triggerfish to 3 pounds.
We had some huge mutton snapper grab our Spros at the surface, then blast for the bottom in seconds -some of these fish topped 15 pounds. We also lost countless large barracuda, since I refused to go to wire and reduce the numerous strikes.
