Hickory Mounds 10-13-2007

Post by jsuber »

It was tough fishing with an outgoing tide and east winds, but a few decided to stick it out. Their rewards were great. I picked up a nice 26" Redfish that weighed in at 6 lbs and one small flounder. Cueball and his son came down from Thomasville and picked up some Rat Reds and a couple of keeper Flounder. But "The man" of the day was Nolediver and he caught a keeper Trout, a Rat Red, and a nice 36" monster Red in the grass on a molting shrimp, deadsticking while putting on his sunscreen. Never heard a grwon man scream like that before. Nice fish. And its only the fourth Redfish he's ever caught. Nice four weeks of fishing for those Redfish Nolediver. Thats a biggun.

I need to add that he caught that on his wifes Rod and Reel with 12 lb Cajun Red line with a 1/4 jighead and Gulp 3" Molting shrimp. He was deadsticking and putting on some sunscreen. His line started moving a little and he thought he was hung on something and kept putting on his sunscreen then the line started to move. It took a while to turn the monster and he was screaming like a little girl. I probably would have too. Lets face it, how often do you catch a 36" Redfish in two feet of water.
