We headed out mid morning to try our trout and redfish holes. Three dozen shrimp were swimming in our bait bucket after launching the cast net a few times off the dock yesterday on low tide.
We started at the trout hole, as the tide was heading out. As usual, the water was dingy from the outflow of the tide through the marshes and creeks. Nothing was there so we headed up to where we caught a few trout last year.
A big yacht was coming down the inter coastal water way as we ducked behind an island to avoid the waves.
As we turned to come back out, a combination of outgoing tided and an oyster bar is going to test Minn Kota's lifetime warranty on their composite shafts.
We slid over to the redfish hole and Nancy hooked up on a Atlantic Sharp Nose shark.
I decided to throw the cast net for some finger mullet that were swimming around the boat.
One short throw proved that redfish are all around us, if we can get them to bite.
An over slot 25" red came in thrashing in the bait net along with a nice sized mullet.
Oh well, I may have to start resorting to this method if the hook and line doesn't start coming through soon.
We headed down below the bridge and tried another creek mouth.
Nancy hooked up immediately and landed another shark, but the best was yet to come as a bonnet head shark came boat side.
That ruler is 36" in the background so you get the picture.
I wanted Nancy to hold it up, but her and sharks don't get along I guess.
Gonna have to learn how to eat shark soon!
