A change in my schedule Fri. cleared the way for an hastily thrown together fishing trip. Launched from the Fort by 11:10 and headed down river. I decide to fish the low tide in the East River. Took a while but finally find 3 nice reds sunning on a shallow mud flat. Luckily I was able to convince 1 of them to bite a spinnerbait before they spooked.
Just as the tide began to turn, I headed back down the river to fish points west. Didn't do much until just as the high tide was waning. Spooked a large school of puppy reds on 1 end of a long oyster bar, but landed several nice reds and 3 nice trout on the opposite end of the same bar using spinnerbaits and jigs.
Total for the day:
7 reds to 27"
3 trout to 22"
The gulf was slick as a mirror back to the fort. Beautiful! Can't wait til next time.
