Redfish Action 2nd place

Fished the first Redfish Action tournament yesterday.  Started off hot at our first spot with a 26" red on a doa jerkbait.  Then we fished two more hours without a bite.  Made a move to my backyard and they were waiting on us.  Drew popped a 25" and 26" fish at our first spot.  Then we popped six or seven more at the next two spots.  Moved again and popped two more to finish the day.  Had a good day of fishing on a day that started off with rain wind and overcast skies.  The sun came out before noon and it turned out to be a nice day on the water.  We finishes in second place being edged out by 4/100 of an ounce.  Tough being on that side of a close battle for the win, but thats tournament fishing.  Were happy with our day being neither of us were on the water for almost two weeks until the day before the tourney.

Pretty good day

I had two trips today at Wrightsville Beach.  We hit six spots before we found any fish willing to cooperate.  Spot number 7 was the ticket we pulled two in a row first two casts.  These fish were brutes.  Richard ended up breaking off five more and landing three more from this school.  Fish were caught on DOA and gulps of all sizes shapes and colors. 

Dropped Richard off at the dock and picked up Robbie.  We hit two spots and pulled two flounder and three upper slot reds.

Slow day on the water

Did some fishing with Hurricane D for one of our upcoming tourneys today.  We started out seeing fish on a skinny water flat as the tide was rolling out.  I pulled one out of a small school or reds on a jerk bait.  We proceeded to hit several more flats on this very windy day during a negative low tide.  We never saw another fish on this day.  The water was crystal clear and must have went deep during the low tide.

Spring Fishing the Cape Fear Region

With a new addition to Capt Shannon and I's family and rigging a new boat, our time on the water this winter was minimal.  When we were able to get out the bite was good and the fish were plenty.  We had such a mild winter the fish never left the flats.  We had family in town last week so I took them out on the boat for some light tackle action.  The wind was howling but we did not let that deter us.  We found fish everywhere we went.  We caught 3 flounder and about ten reds on a short trip.  We left them biting as the tide was getting right when we left.  We found some really nice schools of reds on this day.
