Water temp 52 degrees
Sitting around the house watching the huge tide come in, trying to see the other side of the river, and misting rain, we started talking about how we have had some really good fishing days when it's this crappy out. Fog and rain has done us well when fishing for freshwater fish, but would it work for the saltwater variety?
A little window of opportunity arrived as the tide was hauling out in the afternoon. So, we eased out of the ramp to give it a try.
We started jumping the reds about a half hour after our arrival. While they weren't real coopertative, one did want to put on a show as he socked my jig and battled me in the swift water.
Getting him boat side, Hunter swung him aboard. The over slot 28" redfish was a beauty with three spots on his side.
I flipped him over to get the picture, my expression reveals that he stabbed me pretty good with his dorsal fin.
We followed the schools of reds as they worked their way against the tide, but no others would offer at our baits.
We made a quick stop at our trout hole and Hunter put a hurting on them with mud minnows, but no trout came home with us as they all were peanuts again.
You don't know, til ya go.
