Well, no fog this morning. But also NO WIND either.
Had Kathy, John and Joe aboard the Jettywolf today. We had a chance to hit the absolute last of the falling tide and were looking for a big fish.
Kathy got it!
Pulling it up from the "deep"......like a pro!
18 POUND REDBASS!
Kathy said she wanted to catch a Redfish. That's a sure nice FIRST REDFISH!
We continued bottom fishing after the tide changed and slide into a new spot. Target Species: Black Drum
Kathy caught one of those, too!
This was happened as I had Joe & John on the float-rigs flipping back to the jetties rocks and they were hooking up big Specks and a few yellowmouth and 5 small pups Redfish. A little bit of mayhem was insueing!
Dropping Specks in the box....
The bite slowed, so we moved on. The next spot was dead and had a large swell pushing. That might have been the problem. So we headed back to where we came from and continued catching a few more specks for the box, a couple small non-keeper Redfish. Then Joe set the hook.......
He came to catch Reds too, like Kathy. But after a few too small, now he caught one too big at 32", to keep.
But between the 8- Trout and the Drum, the crew had planty for a fish fry dinner.
Wonderful weather day...so good I'm heading out again with Tom O. from last week.
