The morning started crisp and clear as we pushed off the dock at 08:00AM. Within the first hour, our focus on creek mouths and oyster beds paid off with a keeper redfish falling for fresh shrimp on the bottom. The real excitement began when we moved to a grass flat during the incoming tide, where a beautiful 24 inch redfish crushed our live shrimp on a jig head. Moving to the deeper holes around dock pilings, we landed our flounder - a fat 16-incher that doubled up with another 13 inch flounder. The slam was completed when a 16-inch trout ambushed our bait along a spartina grass edge. Between these trophy catches, we stayed busy with a steady parade of black drum, landing four keepers between 14-20 inches. By noon, the fish box was heavy with our limits, and everyone wore satisfied grins from an exceptional morning on the water.

The Big Trout and Redfish have been chewing this month with the warmer weather pushing in. A cold front pushed in early this week but expecting warmer weather going into the weekend and expect the bite to heat back up!
