Title: Targeting Hogfish
Post by: harbison on January 18, 2021, 09:12:14 PM
Targeting Hogfish

Hogfish are known for their bright orange, salmon color. They have a large, pig-like, snout and rooster like fins off the top of their heads. The average size ranges from 1 to 4 pounds. The Florida sate record is 19.5 pounds taken off Daytona Beach. For most who target Hogfish the bait of choice is shrimp. A spinning rig in the 20-30 pound class would be ideal. As the Florida weather cools fishing for the highly sought after Hogfish gets hot, really.Let's take a look:As usual the ladies show us how its done:(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/14(56).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/23e52b02-bb99-41a2-9718-7f631224d227)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/2(110).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/584e661e-6afb-492f-866a-c03c538faa8a)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/3(100).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/2608df21-1860-4289-88da-d66417a0f9e5)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/4(91).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/e4298265-d088-4b9a-87cc-9d1ae64b1721)We learned our lesions well:(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/5(85).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/fd50113c-ef09-4a0c-ad5f-815fad3a789c)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/6(80).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/34a0b260-9dc4-42af-87ee-1d34a188198c)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/7(78).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/82f6fc71-87cf-40e4-979a-542297d3cc62)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/8(24).JPG?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/1c24942f-1743-4bd2-bb98-fcfe91838666)Back to business:(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/9(67).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/f4f4bfe4-8e6f-4d76-b176-91e86db11164)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/10(65).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/4a33d001-6626-4b1e-b20b-fc995d126ce4)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/11(31).JPG?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/8f55bce0-73e9-4af3-b871-3775d1f62647)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/12(64).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/dc9d5871-6263-4ec8-9bdb-1db4a1b213b1)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/13(65).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/dfe65624-373c-4ed9-8348-c23bad606b5d)(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/14(56).jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/8f24d1e9-0a4c-43ae-91fe-9a0275aa6422/p/23e52b02-bb99-41a2-9718-7f631224d227)Catch the trip video:
