83 degree water temp
We hit the water at high tide today. Nancy wanted to catch a fish on her birthday.
Low and behold she quickly caught a ladyfish on some shrimp she was dragging behind the boat.
We fished a high tide stand of weeds and she also picked up a small trout.
With the tide turned and hurrying out, we headed up to our old trout hole, but no bait and no fish were found.
With the water coming out strong we slid into a redfish hole, and immediately saw the reds tailing.
I threw a Zman Streakz in smokey shad with pro cure topping right in front of a red.
He swirled on it immediately and the fight was on. It was a fight I didn't think I would win as he kept trying to crash onto the oyster bar he was feeding on earlier.
Finally the 23" red came to the boat and since our freezer was barren of fresh fish since April we slid him in the cooler. Blackened redfish was on the menu Saturday night.
We chased the reds until a monster yacht came up the intercostal and sent us to the bank and trashed the water with it's huge wash.
Hopefully with the drop in water temperature the tide has turned and we can continue to add "fresh fish" to our diet.
