Trip Summary

Client brought down good brother from out of state who’s only heard of redfish from stories his brother told over family gatherings. We set out early morning fishing a full day so ensure he had a chance to get on a good redfish bite. And that he did! Tim had his hands full as redsh were out and about on the shallow flats. We had a great time watching him haul them in.

Local client of mine wanted some fresh fish for a easter fish fry with family. We set out early morning drift fishing for redfish using gold weedless spoons. Catch their six red in about an hour and half of non stop casting we moved over to deeper water looking for a trout bite. Guys enjoy wade fishing so we all jumped off with our gear and caught some nice trout. A couple trout rannging from 26-23 released and 5 were strung and a boat load of little ones let go. Great half day trip.
