REDFISH BONANZA!!!

Post by SBW »

Went to Bald Point today fishing from the shore. The tide was wrong, the weather was wrong, and the moon was wrong, but I figured MAYBE all this storm activity may have broken the fish off of "normal" habits and went anyway. Was there less than two hours and caught 8 reds,had my limit in less than a half hour, missed several more, and lost the big `un. I have fished here at least once a month all year (usually whenever the moon is right) and NEVER seen activity like this. The water was SWARMING with reds seemingly in a feeding frenzy. This all on slack tide, and during the heat of the day (about 4 pm). There was, however, a steady current due to all the runoff, so that may have contributed. The "trash fish" were nowhere to be found. I can only imagine what it would have been like had I gone early in the morning. Alas, the trip was cut short, though, as I took the wife with me (who is 6 months pregnant), and she got overheated really fast. I'm gonna hit it first thing in the AM, though. This time without the wife. Maybe I'll give my dad a call and see if he wants to get in on the action, because I think those fish are there to stay for a few days.

Were you fishing from the shore close to the small pier that over looks the oyster bar?

You sure do like resurrecting months old threads to ask people (who haven't logged in in 3 months.. incidentally) about their fishing spots doncha? :-D
