Saturday fishing



Started off the day with a half day trip with Chris and Brian. The winds started out light from the west early but quickly switched to the north and east. We fished a flat that has had three large schools on it early and ran over one school with the low light in the morning combined to the deep silty water. Chris struck first with a fat 28 inch fish he stuck on a weightless soft plastic. We decided to make a mover shortly after Chris stick this fish. The next flat had some nice fish suspending in the grass with the high water. The boys pitched soft plastics to them but they were not interested. The fish were shut down early with the cooler high water. I dropped my guys off at the dock mid day and picked up my wife who was eagerly awaiting a redfishing trip. It was our first trip fishing together this calendar year. We hit 4 flats in the very windy conditions and ran over two schools on two different flats. Water clarity from the extreme full moon tides had the water all messed up. The last flat we hit was very productive. Shannon stuck two smaller slots first then she stuck 5 more in short order from 24" to 27." She was pulling them out of the grass and behind oyster bars. She pulled two more fish as I did and then I stuck a 30 inch pig. All in all a great day on the water.
The fishing should get better as water temps on the flats are nearing 70 degrees mid day. Book your trip now for some redfish action!

Tight lines,
Captain Ren
