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.
