11-18 Spring Warrior

We headed down to catch the rise. 1st cast keeper on a jig with about ten minutes in the trip a second fish comes over the rail on a shrimp. Boy we are there right?

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:

A good fishing report. We were there yesterday as well but out in 4 feet water. We found some shorts and three keepers in about two hours. Nothing like your report. We had our limit of trout and was just messing around but would have been fun catching some reds.

Jeff Bayless of Valdosta needs to talk with you!

Thanks for the good report.

Nice report. We were up there last Sunday and in the Cabela's tournament with similar results. The redfish we found were good sized, too, but scattered. Only negative was me cracking my skeg and ruining my prop. First time I've done that there. Who in the Valdosta area works on props?
