Trip Summary
The warmer weather and rising water temps have the fish leaving their winter homes deep in the creeks and pushing toward the outside islands. These fish are loving the warmer water and they are HUNGRY. Had a solo client with me and we had an absolute blast catching red fish and trout all through the incoming tide. I dont know if he had more fun catching fish or sending pictures of his catch to his son inlaw who was supposed to join us but backed out the night before
