Sun. 4/8/07 More Reds, Flounder, Seabass
Sun. 4/8/07 Well Sat. was a blow-out with 30+ MPH winds and very cold temps.... So, my group opted to hold out and go on Sunday instead. Wise choice as the winds were light on Sunday morning. We started out looking for redfish but the cold temps had them pushed off into deeper water early in the am. We eventually moved off the beach a little and worked some seabass and flounder. We picked up 6 Flounder with 5 keeps, two of which were almost 4lbs! It's awsome to see these fish feeding in early april, especially in water below 60 degrees. We were on our way back to the beach to look for redfish when Capt. Mike Taylor called and said he found a "Blood Red" school. We were there in minutes and anglers in both our boats were hooked up. We picked up some redfish from 26 to 31in. then the wind picked up to 15 to 20 out of the SW and stirred up the water so, we moved on to try and find some speckled trout. No specs but did manage to find a school of small grey trout willing to strike our baits and landed about 10 little'ns. Great day of fishing with two very experienced anglers.....
