This was our second fishing trip with Captain Brad. We had an awesome experience in August, so we decided to go again in April. It was a really windy day and the fish weren’t biting well. Some of Captain Brad’s favorite spots were too rough to fish, so he took us to several spots that were more protected from the wind. One lake surrounded by marsh grass proved to be one of the best spots. It was accessed by a small channel that was barely bigger than the boat, but Brad made it look easy. We caught several little reds, and a couple of specks there. He caught a few small mullet with a cast net in the small channel. We tried to catch some bigger fish with those, but that did not work out. Then, we found a couple of pelicans that were diving for fish, so we fished with them. We caught a couple more little reds and several catfish. When we left that spot, we tried for bigger bull reds, but we were unable to catch any. At the end of the trip, we got soaked from the waves produced by the high winds. It was a blast.

It was another memorable fishing trip for my son and I. We caught 11 fish total. One speckled trout was a keeper that turned into dinner.

Thanks, Captain Brad, for making the trip entertaining. Even during the slow times, it was never boring.

When you fish with Captain Brad, ask him about the time that two bucks made him think he was being attacked by Bigfoot!
