Black Friday Trout Haul (with Bonus Cajun Fried Turkey)

Casting and topwater popping around Pine Island, Matlacha, and St. James City in South West Florida from a 17' Mako Pro Skiff out of Rosen Park, Cape Coral on the day after Thanksgiving 2024.

We haul in a limit of Speckled Trout and fight with Ladyfish all day. I also catch my first ever Jack Crevalle and my dad shares his recipe for Cajun deep fried turkey.
