12/6/09 Lots of Trout and Reds in the Cooold weather!
11/6/09
Man it was a cold one when my crew and I left the dock around 6am. We planned on starting out looking for some speckled trout in the backwaters while letting the sun get up to help locate some redfish later in the day. We made a short run to try out the trout fishing. It started real slow unlike last week's trout blizt. But, we stuck with it and about 4hrs of fishing we caught about 30 specs. We kept a dozen from 15in to 3.5lbs and released the rest. Suprisingly, we also picked up two flounder with one at 16in. We moved back toward the inlet around 10:30 and we had three of our four important factors set up perfect for Redfishing but, unfortunatley we didn't have the clear water to sight cast to our fish. So, we moved from shoal to shoal blindcasting and about 30min into it we struck gold! We spent several hours bending rods and releasing reds from 24in to 34in. We came upon a flock of small gulls working bait hard and beneath them was a massive school of thousands of Reds, big reds. Our largest was about 13lbs but capt. Mike got on the action and his crew boated one at 37in and between 18 and 20lbs! Awsome day of fishing! Great job guys! We fished 100% artificial baits today and the best trout bite came using Berkley Powerbait shrimp and all the reds hit Berkley 4in Gulp pogies and shrimp!
