Launched at the fort and ran east. Got set up for the rising tide. Caught a 26" red on topwater soon after the water started moving. Saw several more reds during the day, but no takers. They were very spooky.

Sunday, 3/15/09

Launched at Econfina and headed to a somewhat offshore bar that has produced reds in the past. Made the run in the fog. It was messy. Did I mention it was also very windy? With the boat drifting at 2.2 mph, this was impossible to fish. Moved in with the tide. Caught 2 decent slot trout on topwater. No reds. Moved to spot 2. No reds. Moved to spot 3. No reds. Moved to spot 4 and immediately started catching short trout on soft jerk baits. Switched to topwater. Caught 9 trout between 22" and 26". No reds. The fog finally lifted about 5:00 P.M., but the wind never laid. Never saw a red all day.

Nice weekend TC.

WTG in all the wind and fog. Sounds like ya found the pattern and it paid off.

Nice trip TC

I'll take catching 9 20"+ trout over a redfish almost any day.
Keep working 'em TC. How many buckets did you fill up with soft plasctics in those 2 days?

9 over 20" is a dang fine day in my book.

A banner day at Anky for sure!!!!!!!!

That wind and fog made for a tough day to fish!

Nice report TC. Wish I could have joined you as you headed out of the 'hood Friday. No suprise you're breaking hooks off of plugs catching all those 26" fish.

The offer was there. You could have gone. But, NO, you chose to go to work.
