Trip Summary

We started off the morning picking up live bait at calcasiue point and headed south but was greeted with strong south east winds. We hugged the bank and caught a few small redfish. So we decided to oack up and move to an area which is great for getting out a windy day. We found a small group of trout busting bait. We threw topwater baits and 4horseman corks with live shrimp and we caught many trout but only a handful were able to keep. But we did land a nice 3.5 lb trout and a few others that went into the box. When the trout bite died off we change gears and targeted redfish along the bank. We had lots of hookups many were sightly undersized to monsters breaking lines. Overall for very tough conditions they were happy and the memories they made will last a lifetime.
