REDS AND DRUM FEED WITH A NORTH WIND

10-30-2014--What a difference a day makes.  Yesterday, I had four anglers for a half day and we could see large schools of black drum floating by but they wouldn't bite anything we could think of to offer them.  Today's full day trip was the opposite--we couldn't see the fish but they bit constantly.  We started in a back lake drain out of the north wind.  Right away one of the two anglers tied into an over-sized redfish.  After the battle and a picture the red was released.  Next the other angler immediately landed a good sized black drum. It was non stop after that.  It was good that they both were experienced fishermen who could bait their  own hooks etc, because I could barely keep up with netting fish and getting bait out of the live well.   They had their limits of black drum well before mid morning but we kept fishing the same area hoping for reds and trout.  In addition to about a dozen extra keeper drum which were released they got one mid slot sized red and two large sheepsheads.  A large flounder and a 17-18 inch trout were hooked but got off before getting to the net.  Additionally, many smaller fish were caught and released.
