7 Reds despite the wind and airboats

Post by FinsNGrins »

NOAA's 5-10 was more like 15-20 this morning, so we could not stay out on the flats which I planned on doing in the first place. We first hit up stoney bay in a spot where I knew fish would be on high tide. First two casts of the morning= double hookup but both reds were 22". Due to the south wind and out going tide it made maneuvering the trolling motor hard. My buddy Nate proceeded to hang 4 more reds despite the winds. His biggest of the day went 28" on a gold spoon. He had already coolered one 22" and I wasnt leaving until I had one for lunch as well. We went up this one creek where an airboat was doing donuts over the marshes...way to go loser. Despite a giant noise maker out there I had boated and coolered a 22" after spooking it and it coming back 180 degrees to hit my Gulp New Penny shrimp (cheatin' baits). And MAN was it hot out there, the ride home my temp reading said 99 degrees.
