1/2/09 Redfish Blitz!
This morning I had Dave H. and his son onboard as we set out looking for a Redfish bite. We spent some time looking just outside the inlet as well as the shallow backwaters today. We worked both Berkley Gulp 4in. Mud Minnows as well as live mud minnows. What a Day! We boated 45 Redfish from 18 to 27in. along with two speckled trout about 2lbs each and made it back to the dock by lunch time. Great Job Guys! The redfish are roaming the shallow mud flats behind the barrier Islands during the middle of the day with high sun. Sometimes they're in small pods and at times they're bunched up in large schools... These fish will often be very tight lipped and you'll need to keep some live mud minnows under slip corks or popping corks ready incase they turn down the artificials. Dudley's Marina is stocked up with mud minnows... The beauty of the mud minnows is that you can fill your livewell with water and store the boat in your yard for several weeks at at time with 4 or 5 dozen mud minnows and they will not require any aeration or food between fishing on the weekends... any you'll have them there incase you decide to go fishing... Call Dudley's and get some while he has them in stock! 252-393-2204
