Spent a awesome morning on the flats fly casting to reds. Dayum this flyfishing can be tough.




Casted to 15 or so reds only convinced 1 to eat. I believe he was blind, deaf, and dumb.
Caught him on another fly Chalk gave me.





By 1:00 p.m. the wind got pretty fierce out of the SW and shut down my flyfishing. It even made the conventional fishing near impossible.

Ended the day with 3 reds to 26" and 2, 18" trout. 1 red on the fly and 2 on a new secret bait I'm hoping to use on the IFA redfish tour. It werked pretty good today what little I used it.



Found 2 dead and decaying dolphins about 1/2 mile apart up in the spartina grass. I'm guessing they died of old age.





Great day today except for the winds in the afternoon. Can't wait til next time.

Nice day on the water BD
One on the fly and two on the super secert bait ain't bad neither. Glad you got out there and found some fish to cooperate.
Did you go N or S ?
