10-28-2010--My two guests drove down from San Antonio today and met me at 2:30 PM. We launched at the St Charles boat ramp in heavy seas churned up by 30+ MPH winds. No other boat trailers were at the parking lot and we saw no other fishermen all afternoon. The tide was falling fast and had already fallen over a foot from yesterday. My plan was to find a sheltered place with moving water to fish. The first place we tried the water was so low we couldn't get the boat in to where the fish were. The wind was too strong to cross the open bay so we worked our way around protected shorelines to get to a slough where the water was draining from back lakes. Once in the slough we could see three groups of birds working over fish and coming our way. The birds were directly over feeding redfish busting bait out of the water. Redfish in groups of 20 to 50 were constantly coming out of the back lake past us. My guests had informed me ahead of time that they didn't want to keep any fish. We had 2 fish on at once several times. When we quit at 6:30 the count was 33 redfish caught and released.
