5/14/2011 Redfish and Flounder Pounding! Come Fish the Crystal Coast!
5/14/2011
This morning I had Josh B. (soon to be married - congrats!) and his friends onboard with some beautiful fishing conditions! We lucked out and the strong T-storms moved through about 4am and cleared out just before morning. We started out casting artificial baits for Redfish and.... the first stop produced 6 hookups. We landed a few and then moved on for another quick stop...and another awsome strike in some flooded grass. My client did the right thing... locked down on the drag to keep the red from going deeper into the grass... and that red went skyward.. awsome sight! We boated him and then realized the wind had laid down to complete "slick cam" conditions.... so, with our limit of reds already in the boat, we decided to go flounder hunting... we, ran out the inlet (staying close to the beach due to redfish onboard) and within 10 minutes began doubling down on flounder. We worked over the flounder for the next 3 hrs and were able to land close to 30 flatties from which we culled 13 keepers (most around 2 lbs, several at 3lbs, and one just over 3lbs). We releaed LOTS of Seabass over 12inches! I can't wait until June 1st and the opening of the Seabass Fishery..
CALL NOW FOR JUNE AND JULY OPEN DATES WHILE THEY LAST!
THANKS TO ALL OUR CLIENTS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
