REDFISH, TROUT, TARPON, FLOUNDER KIND OF

What a great crew I had the pleasure of fishing with yesterday! The wind and wave report looked decent for the morning but, of course, when we got out there in the Gulf, we were looking at fairly consistent one foot plus seas and strong winds coming out of the West. I checked with my crew and they said let's do this so away we went. Mark, Beth, Dave (who was a little camera shy) and Kathy stuck it out through some pretty adverse conditions and managed to catch quite a few fish. Kathy started things off with a hard fighting Jack, Beth put a keeper Trout in the box, Dave caught a nice Redfish, and then proceeded to get a couple jumps out of a 100 lb Tarpon! At the end of the day he said he will be seeing that Tarpon in his dreams tonight?. They caught multiple species including the aforementioned Redfish, Seatrout, Jacks, as well as Flounder. All of our stops except one produced fish, with at least ten,17 and 1/2 to 17 and 3/4 Redfish in the mix. Dave finished off the day with a keeper Redfish and Beth jumped another Tarpon right before we headed back to Yankeetown Marina. Captains Cove came through again today with some nice live shrimp in the middle of our annual shrimp shortage, as well as some decent size mud minnows. All of our different baits had good success catching fish, and the good Lord supplied us with a nice lady fish for cut bait which worked real well also! My crew really fished hard in some tough conditions, with the seas getting up to 2 ft+ at times and steady wind at about 15 mile an hour plus before we decided to call it a day and head back to port. It was another blessed day fishing with a fantastic crew out in God's Country!
