1/21/08 COOOOLD! Trout and Redfish!
Yikes! What a frigid morning. It was 20 degrees and a blowin with a wind chill in the low teens. everywhere I stopped this morning folks said, You aren't going fish'n are you? Yeah, there's a reason my business is called FISH'N4LIFE. With ice in the boat and Bobby P. onboard, we eased out behind the barrier islands to see if a few trout would bite. Bobby hooked up a decent redfish and several trout, a solid 2lbs. each, then we moved out into the surf zone to scout out the redfish. Go figure, the weatherman was off a little as the winds were more than 10mph and already out of the ENE just after daybreak. Well, we scoured the murky surf and finally located a school of several hundred reds. We worked them a short while and only had a few hook-ups. These fish had a case of the lockjaw! Anyway, with worsening conditions we opted to head into the backwaters where we managed to find some 17 to 19in. puppydrum to play with. Not too shabby of a morning for the extreme cold temps. Great job on the trout and reds Bobby.
