I talked myself into taking Tuesday off being that the tides were good and I wanted too
....I was awakened by rain at 4:00 and again at 5:00, so I milled around waiting for the rain to clear out...It never cleared out, but I only got drizzled on a few times.I had decided to go and test some unfamiliar parts of the bay, mainly looking for redfish....First stop produces a short trout and two red fish that couldn't seem to find the lure....I mill in and around the bayou....move to the outside and start working the bank...finally catch a 20" redfish
The red destroyed my lure, so I dug another one out and the very next cast I get hammered and the fish heads to the grass and buries up and the line breaks above the swivel
....I fish on down the bank, only having some sea monster swirl at my baitI move across the bay....I catch another dink trout, had a red blowup on topwater....Kept working the bank and caught another red - 26"
I make a big move to the east, more or less running and looking for a certain type of bank....Stop on a bank with green grass and spotty bottom, hook up with a 18-20" red that had a wingman, I reach for the net and fish off....I move again after fishing a couple hundred yards of bank....Another perfect spot - ran over a red, saw another red, hooked up with one, it came unbuttoned
24 miles on the GPS, 7 some odd hours of fishing, I'm going back to work to get some rest
Nothing broke (on the boat
), caught fish, can't wait to go again
