Today, it was very, very windy! Guided Mr. Bill Mathis this morning for some inshore action. Trailered the boat to our chosen area for fishing and got started at 515am. Fished some protected and somewhat protected banks with lots of mullet activity. Started catching quality speckled trout immediately and even found the recently elusive redfish as well. Fished that area well and then took off for some tall tree-lined banks in search of more fish. Redfish U’s Hewes 21 Redfisher doesn’t experience big water like that often but it performed beautifully. Tabs down, 40 mph, comfortable and as dry as a bone. The best flats boat made!! Anyway, we had some sun and falling water so I asked, “Would you like to see some redfish and trout?” We saw a very good amount of both and the fish were very cooperative. Small to medium redfish and 1-3# trout could be seen and caught pretty easily. Fun morning and back around 930am. All fish taken on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads, 3″ Shrimp and 2″Crabs rigged on Marsh Works jigheads. Really challenging conditions the past few days but I guess we lucked out. Or maybe we didn’t! Find them and you’ll catch them…
