Got up late...had nothing ready...was about to have a panic attack while I was still at the house and the tide was bottoming out

Finally got everything in order and headed to the ramp...First spot I wanted to fish was a nice flat I had fished with Barhopr once...wanted to see what was home…did not see a thing until the last 100 yards of the flat...saw a fish, saw another...made a cast to it...nothing…recast...denied again ....third cast, your going to eat or I’m going to snatch hook your azz ...pay dirt

First fish of the day


Got the long pole out...had a good shot at two nice fish that I blew

Moved onto another new spot...nutt'n

Moved to third spot...looking at the water...I was thinking it looks to shallow, about then the water rose up a foot and parted in two directions around the boat ...I had the long pole in hand and didn't have enough line to make a 70 ft cast...so I patiently watched them swim off

I ease on down the bank...see the school circling back around...I get the spoon out and fire it down range...got a hit, but I snatched it out of it's mouth.

I finally convince one of the school leaders to eat and get the second fish of the day.

2nd fish of the day


I continue to see school upon school of reds come by that I can't reach or they refuse to eat...I tried to put a number on the amount of fish I saw, I couldn't do it and sound credible, not that I normally do ...I saw an azz load of fish, it was unreal to see and painful to watch them refuse my offerings.

I move on to another spot and see a few more fish...I hook another nice fish with alot of spots...I get it to the boat and the leader breaks as I try to grab the fish…was the best fish of the day too, that’s the breaks.

I guess my camera is on the downward spiral…the pics came out like crap…took some more at home and they are just as blurry.

Had a blast, can’t wait til next time…

That is great day on the water Chalk. Hate the reds had lock jaw.

You sir are the envy of many that had not the time nor luck you did today!

Who was that masked man that the Reds opened a can of whup azzz on?

Good lookin' fish...your camera's working about as well as mine.

First picture I thought you had been boat-jacked, and the perp had been caught on surveilence footage.
Then I scrolled down to the second pic and see you are ok .
Nice feesh btw

glad you got out and got a little slime on the Buff,is that the redfish pattern? nice fish too!!.spend some of that fly fishing gear $ on a new camera.

Not bad at all. Love the mask.

Nice report Chalk. It's tough when their schooled up and you've got a couple hundred eyes on the look out.

Sounds like fun, but tuff, sight fishing.

Sounds like a good time Chalk.

Thanks for the report

You know how to do it!
