TROPICAL WAVE...?  COLIN

https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-storm-colin-june-2016



Well Monday was kinda "doomed". Bad winds, bad wind direction, bad tide, bad moon. 
So, from here on out folks, have a back up day.
It's storm time.

I awoke to pouring rain and that's a "here's yer sign"....
They got that right in the forecast, so the rest would probably be right too.

I hate going when the chances of actual catching is slim to none.

6/3 - what's happening....

B-I-G S-H-A-R-K-S!
behind the shrimp boats...as long as you get on them early.

Then, before the S.E. "sea breeze" starts honkin'.

Get up on a spot in the river and hook -up BULL REDS.

But ya better take bait with ya. Because Pogies aren't a given if you show up late.

So since I've done a few late morning trips, because I had 2 hour KIDS TRIPS in the morning. And couldn't get a Pogie to save my skin. I take bags of Boston Macs. And the Redfish seem to like it.
Oily and Nasty, like a Pogie. It works.

















Lost this 30 pound Red, because it ran under the boat and cut the 20# braided line like a knife!!!










































































THIS DUDE was a beast....had to be 7' long!!
(way behind a shrimp boat)  We had a "double" on but lost one of them, Thank Goodness!
