REDS LIKE WIND

5-28-2016--Today was too windy to fish on the outside beaches for trout so we opted for redfish.  The two couples managed to boat 8 keeper reds including one that measured 27 7/8 inches.  The bigger reds were a real challenge to get to the boat.  They also caught about 15 undersized reds around 19 inches each.    

 

WINDY DAY

 

 5-26-2016--Had three guests today.  They caught 8 nice size trout and 8 redfish up to 27 1/2 inches.

TROUT AND REDS

5-25-2016--This is the first I've posted of the last four trips because I forgot to take pictures.  Each trip we've had good boxes of trout and reds with an occasional flounder.  Today's  guests limited on trout and caught 4 redfish.  The biggest trout weighed 6 1/2 pounds and measured 26 1/2 inches.

 

REDS IN HIGH TIDES

5-20-2016--Had two fishermen today with a large corporate multi-boat group.  They limited on red drum before 7 AM but trout were not so easy.  We fished 7 more hours for 8 trout and 1 flounder.  They also got to catch some large skip jack that were feeding under birds.

 

FISHING BETWEEN RAIN STORMS.

Limited on reds and got 5 trout with very high tides.

BABES ON THE BAY TOURNAMENT

5-14-2016--The tournament had a record number of contestants this year.  My group of four ladies managed to weigh in a complete stringer of three trout and one redfish but none of the fish were really tournament size.  They had an exciting beginning with 9 trout and one massive 41 inch redfish caught in the first hour.  The 41 inch red did not count in the tournament because only reds up to 28 inches could be weighed in.  Next came with two hours of no keepers when we moved to find larger trout.  When we went for slot sized redfish they were also on the small side. The group is already looking forward to next year and another opportunity to win.

FISHING FOR DINNER

5-12-2016--This morning I did not have clients but I needed to find fish for the tournament this weekend and the freezer was empty so I went fishing for a couple of hours.  Bought two dozen croaker and caught 5 keeper trout on the first 5 croaker.  The I moved to a redfish spot and in less than 45 minutes I had three keeper redfish.  The first one bit while I was putting out the second rod. While I was unhooking the third red  a fourth one got on the extra rod.  I quit fishing as soon as I released the extra red.  Hopefully, the fishing will be this good for the weekend.

FULL DAY FISHING

 

5-7-2016--Had two half day trips today.  Each group caught 7 redfish and one trout.  The first trip ended at 11 AM but we wanted to wait for the falling tide before starting the afternoon trip so we had a four hour break between trips.  That worked but it made for a very long day.
