NCCHARTERFISHING-Capt.'s Jeff Cronk and MIke Taylor-Crystal Coast, Swansboro, Emerald Isle

Thursday and Friday I had a native to the area onboard. John and I set out thursday right after the extreme winds and weather settled down to try and relocate some redfish. We found reds in almost every area we tryed but the sizes were small. The water clarity inside was a little chalky. The reds we found would strike the topwater baits but not committ. So we tryed spinner baits and that did the trick. On friday we were back out there scouting out some different areas. The first couple places didn't produce but we found some areas with better water clarity and the reds were there. We cornered a pod of reds into a back bay in some flooded marsh and had multiple strikes and hookups off it. We managed to pull out and release two that would be a definite money maker in a redfish tourny. Good job guys!
