Sat.4/14 Monster Redfish! Inshore Slams!
I had Folden L. and a friend on early this morning. We were trying to get into some redfish before the tide dropped out and the winds picked up. Within 15min. of searching a clear water shoal we found a school of Monster Reds all over 30in. There was probably 700 or more reds in the school. These fish were in 1 to 1.5ft of water and wouldn't stay in one place... we kept them in our sights for a while and were able to land a few before they managed to make it to deeper water. We moved further into the backwaters and went searching for some reds, trout, and flounder. After some scouting we found some speckled trout along some shallow shelly bottom and landed about a dozen. The largest trout was about 3lbs and struck a 4in. Berkley gulp pogie on a light jighead. As we moved on we picked up a couple of decent flounder and also found a school of big redfish working a shallow bay. One of the reds in the school had recently got the better of an angler as it was pulling a popping cork around behind him.
