I was sent on a mission today. My partner Chalk thought it might be a good idea if I checked a creek for some trout today.
Well, partner, I checked about a mile's worth of the creek. There's some good looking holes, with rocks, oysters, and rock grass. I could see bottom in 5' with no trouble. The water is a little tannin, ant the temp was 54 degrees. I saw 4 mullet. I did not catch a trout. Nor did I see any evidence of trout. I did not see any redfish in the creek.
However, just as I exited the creek, I caught a 29" redfish. I then caught 11 more. from 16" to 29", in the next hour. The one 16" fish was the only short. 6 were in the mid to upper slot, and 5 were too big (hate when that happens).
I suppose it was a bad day, as I did not find any trout.
I hope to try a few more creeks next week. I'll try not to dissappoint you again.
Shoot TC, exploring and searchin is sometimes as much fun as fishin and catchin, and ya did catch all them reds, so sounds like a good day to me. Thanks for the report.
HEY JOHN, WHAT WERE YOU FLOATIN YOUR BOAT IN. I WENT TO THE LIGHTHOUSE AND THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH WATER TO LAUNCH AND GET OUT OF THE CANAL. GLAD YA CAUGHT A FEW.
PA THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA
