REDFISH SAVE THE DAY

5-10-2014--We had a two boat trip with two ladies and two men in each boat.  The plan was to wade using croaker for bait.  Normally the croaker are good sized by this time in May but this year everything is late and the croaker are still too small to be effective bait.  The clients wanted to try them anyway because they had done so well in the past at this time of year.  Most of the morning was dead calm with very light winds from different directions in between.  I doubt that we could have overcome the conditions even if we had larger croaker.   Luckily we had a plan B so after getting only two keeper trout in the morning we got back in the boats and went for redfish using menhadden for bait.  The redfish were very cooperative.
