Trip Summary

Left the dock at 6:30am. Went looking and found a school of fish pushing water in 10 inches of water and commenced steady catching but eventually the bite went dead. Needed 3 more keeper Redfish to have our limits. Decided to fish a mighty productive spot but when anchored up I let them know how productive this spot was but the depth was wrong to fish it but gave it a try . To my surprise within literally 3 minutes we had our first rod bender. She measured 32 inches and we decided to release this breeder to spawn . In the end we netted 2 oversize 3 more keepers to finish out our limits. I have been guiding over 38 years and even though i didn't feel we would catch any there and figured i would try for 10 minutes and WOW !! See even I was surprised because there shouldn't have been any there. Fish can humble you !! Come be a guest on my boat and let me put a smile on your face
