Well I did something today that I don't get to do very often.I went fishing by
myself.It's nice sometimes to get out on the water by yourself and think about
all the things that are going on in life.
I had promised one of my Dads nurses a couple Trout for taking such good
care of my Dad here at my house so my plan was to head to a shallow flat
and have a little fun with a topwater bait catching Trout.My plan worked out great
except I had a hard time catching two Trout that were legal to keep.
First Trout was 21 inches and the next 20 Trout were either over 20 inches or
under 15 inches.The limit is one per person over 20 and 4 between 15 and 20
well after two hrs I finally caught a 19 inch Trout for my second keeper.
I had seen a couple Redfish cursing the flat I was fishing so I switched
over to a Berkley Gulp Shrimp and started sight fishing for Redfish
it didn't take long to see a nice Redfish tailing in about 18 inches of water
I placed a cast about 10 ft ahead of this tailing fish and as I started to reel
the shrimp to the fish a second fish I didn't see came out of no where
and ate the bait.This was a much bigger fish and after about a 2 minute
fight I had knot failure and broke the fish off.Not Good.I knew this morning
when I tied my Power Pro to my Team Fish Mono leader something didn't
feel right but sense I was not guiding I just left it alone and when fishing.
After tying on a new leader it only took a couple minutes to find another
Redfish tailing. I placed my cast again about 10 ft a head of this fish and
reeled the shrimp to with in 1 ft of the fish.It was fun to watch this fish hunt
the shrimp down and circle it twice before eating .No knot failure on this
beautiful 31 inch Redfish.I ended the morning finding a school of about 20 Redfish
working a shallow shoreline and caught 4 more Redfish and was off the water
before 11 am.My best Trout Bait today was a Rebel Pop R
and all 5 Redfish were caught on a Berkley Gulp Shrimp.
I would also like to say that my New GuideLine Elite Glasses Model #50010202
with the Freestone Brown Lens worked better then any glasses I have ever
sight fished with before.As most of you know I don't push a lot of products
on my websites but when I do find something I feel will help my clients catch
more fish I will certainly let you know about it.Go to www.GLpolarized.com
You have my word.You need a pair of these glasses to see what you have been
missing on the flats.
Sorry for not having pictures with today's report.It's a little hard when you are
by yourself.
