The weather was windy, the water was a little choppy in spots and the sun peeked in and out of the clouds a little each day... But it might as well have been raining redfish! That's how many we caught! The first day (Wednesday), i took out Chad and Kari for a few short hours. They brought 9 redfish, 2 snook and a few mangrove snapper to the boat. It was Kari's day and everywhere she cast she was catching the reds! Poor Chad was a good sport about it, even though Kari gave him her spot on the bow he still didn't catch one. Friday Art and his grandson Daniel got a bit of a late start on another partly cloudy and windy morning but the wind died down a little and we got on the redfish on the first stop and before the morning was over they had caught 30 head of reds, a 20 inch trout, 4 snook and 7 mangrove snapper. WOW!!! They were sure some happy fishermen when we got back to the dock! If this is any indication of what is to come, the redfish season is going to be fantastic!!

We went out early to avoid as much heat as possible. We watched the sun come up and the bait shower across the water in front of us. no sooner did the sunlight hit the water and the first trout hit the deck! We reeled in some small ones and a couple of slot sized and decided to move a little. I don't know if the dolphins were leading or following but everywhere we found good fish they seemed to find us! We were almost ready to come in when Josh got a runaway hit and a 27" snook exploded out of the water and it was a site to see! He put up a good fight but it just ended too soon. it was a great way to end the day!

If you know your way around and brought your lucky rabbit's foot you might be able to find a little school of golden glory! We found these beauties around the bend in a small little hole in the wall up the river. What a thrill for about 45 minutes to an hour! Too bad it doesn't happen every day! WoW!!!
