Had a fishing partner pull a no-show, so I went it alone today for the first time. The peace and quiet was very refreshing and makes me wonder why I always take someone with me. Anyway, arrived at the lighthouse around 9:30AM to low water conditions. Eased out of the channel expecting to get blown away, but things were not all that bad. Went east and started exploring. There was not enough water until about 12:00 to really get where I wanted to go. End up in the back of Stoney about 12:15 and the redfish were there, but a little slow to bite. Water was much clearer than I expected and fish were rather spooky. Ended up going with a gulp shrimp on 1/16 oz jig for the most stealthy presentation. It paid off with a couple of nice reds. The water turned fast with the wind blowing and had to ease out by around 2:00. The afternoon ended up being beautiful.

25" throw back


22" has already completed the circle of life. Man it was tasty.

Glad you got to get out. Thought about it myself but work was calling. Nice reds

Nice day on the pond

Nice feesh

Very nice. Stoney ought to be filling up with reds about now.

Nice reds.

WTG Nice to see the lighthouse in a fish pict.

Good job, nice pics

Great report and love the pics!

Folks wonder why I fish by myself 90% of the time....I love the
peace and quiet! I alwalys got the fish to talk to!


Don't spread it around about the very light jig.

Very nice fish. Nothing wrong with fishing solo. Good me time never hurt anyone.

Very nice

I actually prefer going solo sometimes. Besides the solitude, it gives me a chance to explore and experiment without worrying about boring my guests.

Congrats! Thanks for the pics!
