Heck no those two trout 1 short red 1 big blue and five hours later with nothing but aggrivation to show for it.
Then the tide turns and its on like donky kong, double header on reds to start nice reds 22 - 25 on ice from there on for ninety minutes it is non stop big reds and trout!
My guest has fished old fashioned all his life and proceeded to catch his largest fish ever on plugs over and over yesterday. He has caught bigger fish but never on artificials.
We wound up putting back many large reds and trout & keeping six trout and three reds all were very nice fish providing some nice filets and a fat sack for some blackened redfish on the halfshell. We really struggled trying to find fish small enough that we could keep. We put back a dozen big trout and reds.
I had one hit the plug 5 times and never get caught, I pulled out and she pounded my buddies plug.
He got a call from his friend they had caught them up around horseshoe.
This is the time of year I love the best big fish on hard baits is cool and man do they pull. The reds were really stretching the string and testing the drag.
You just had to hold on and wait till they were ready these were not the kind of fish you rush without something breaking.
WAM OUT
