Windy rainy day but everything fell into place...
Today I went out by myself and put in around 8:00 with the rain coming down and a north east breeze in my face. The tide was way down a nice -.04 tide. Paddled up to some nice pot holes and got out and waded working the CAL Golden Bream and bam got a nice 28 inch snook that did not want to give up. When he got close I realized that he had a tag in him. First snook I have personally caught with a tag in him. Seen a couple bigger overslot snook free jumping on some bait. Then jumped back in yak and relocated found some more pot holes and picked up a nice 25 inch red extremely blue tail. Staked out with a nice stake out pole Patrick Bradley hooked me up with. Wading along hitting some holes and I picked up another clone size fish. Then hooked another good slot size snook. Then Picked up a couple nice trout. Switching it up I pur on the avacodo red flake CAL and got a lower 30 inch snook that faught like a champ. Now the tide is rushing in I walked back to the yak and grabbed the spook rod and got a few trout up to 20 inches. I thought I had a nice trout on but it turned out to be a big sail cat. More boats were showing up so I decided to head back to the car. Cruising through the knee deep turtle grass I see a nice Redfish tail stick straight up in front of me. Work the spook around him and he wasnt having it. So I staked out and rigged up the emergency gulp shrimp weedless. Stealthly walking towards tailing fish after presenting to at least 10 fish got a nice upper slot red. That is the best way to catch reds hands down. Seen a bunch more but decided to leave some for tommrorow for the spot tournament.
