11 y/o angler tags and releases his firs

The bite came back late in the week. Live shrimp from Captain Hicks in Sara Ann Bayou, #2 mustad demon perfect circle hook, 30lb Andes Fluorocarbon, and 20lb Power pro super slick on a 3500 Penn Spinfisher V. Rigged modified Carolina style, presented the tailooked shrimp in the shadow of docks in 5-8’ of water around 65 degrees. If pinfish are present, keep moving. Redfish and sheep’s do not “nibble.” Watch out for predator dolphins when releasing your shorts. The 10lb sheepshead surprised us because they were mixed in with the redfish. Make some memories with L4K Charters.

Lady anglers are crushing it! Spotless redfish and big black drum made the Captain’s pic picks today. Live shrimp around docks and bridges. The only charter that still can get live shrimp in town! The water temp is very warm for this time of year. Finess fishing with 20lb braid on Penn 3500 Spinfisher VII tipped with 30lb flouro and a #2 Mustad circle hook. Come make some memories!

September afternoons in Destin, FL are tough on the Captain to find active fish. This week's hot weather and South wind made it seem impossible. However, we found this 25" Redfish in < 3' of murky water with an outgoing tide, hanging around schools of Sand Trout and Ladyfish. He and 18 of his smaller friends ate live Menhaden on a Carolina Rig tied to a 2/O Demon Perfect circle hook on 20lb Seaguar Red-Label fluorocarbon. We used a PENN Battle II 2500, 7' Extra Fast, Medium-Light Rod, loaded with 15lb Berkley Power-Pro super-slick braid. The hardest part is getting bait past the Mangrove Snappers and Pinfish. This lady-angler broke her own personal record with a 7-minute fight around dock pylons, heavy grass, and a set of deployed Power-Poles. The Captain finally netted the bull after three failed attempts. WOW! That fish went straight from live-well to grill for the freshest fish at the Hansill house--EVER! That was an exciting day aboard "at EASE!"
