Hey, I caught a game fish!

8.23.15

water temp 86 deg.

Wanting to look at new water, Nancy and I took the tin boat down to Fripp Island to take a look at the area.

Bait was easily had as we filled up the cooler with finger mullet, juvenile mullet and shrimp in a few throws.

As we were learning the area we decided to look for tarpon first, only to have the dolphin put on a feeding frenzy on the menhaden that were heavy in the cut.

With all that bait I'm sure a tarpon was swimming in there somewhere, but we didn't get any hook ups.

We idled over to the rock wall that keeps Fripp Island from eroding into the bay and low and behold I caught 3 puppy reds, had one flounder get off, and saw a nice red tailing.  Oh yea, two sharks came boatside too.


I purchased a new app for my iPhotos.  It is called Circular.  This is a picture done with it.  It puts me on my own little planet.

If the water temp will start decreasing any time, the fishing should pick up.

This area was very "fishy" and we look forward to going back and trying it again.
