Two boats two days With John Pritchard and group from Alabama.

Day 1

Evening trip we started out in the marsh catching a few reds and drums until the wind died down then we headed outside. Caught some trout but nota lot but got attacked by BULL REDS. I had the boys Larry, Andrew, Jacob along with john aboard and they all had a blast wrestling the bulls. Put the limit on ice and caught and released until the boys arms and fingers were sore. Great Evening.

Day 2

We got the redfish yesterday so trout was the intended quarry today. First stop nothing so I ran to a new area with cleaner water and found the trout hungry. Small fish mixed in with the big ones but steady action all morning lot's of fun. Croakers and shrimp and plastic all were catching. Finished up the morning with a box full of trout and 2 reds on top. Another Great Trip. The guy's went back to Alabama with a cooler full of fillets.
