Two Bites, Two Nice Reds, Two Happy Fishermen

1.30.16

Water Temp 52 degrees

Enjoying what we hope is the beginning of spring Hunter and I headed out on the incoming tide to see what we could find.

It took a little while, but at dead slack high tide I got two bites and both came to the boat.

Two nice overslept reds crushed my new Zman Diesel Minnowz slowly cranked on or near the bottom in 15 feet of water.

The first one crushed the bait and put on a show as he fought back and forth before we could boat him.

It was probably the prettiest red I have ever caught.

I didn't have to wait long for the next fish as he inhaled the diesel minnowz as I slowly reeled it from the bottom.

I have video showing this fish being caught, but I had to take frame shots because the language in the video was NSFW.

As the tide started rolling out we couldn't get another bite.

But two bites like this in winter is a good day!

New Year First Trip

Taking advantage of the weather in the high 60's we took the Seacraft out for a spin.

It still ran thankfully.  We haven't put many hours on it since moving to SC.

I wanted to put the Lowrance Side Scan to use in a couple of creeks to see if I could find some more downed trees or any other structure.  After graphing and fishing some nearby creeks we headed to our red hole behind our the house looking to salvage the day with a bite or two.

We only got one. He took a mud minnow on the bottom.  After guiding it through the sunken tree, the  red came home with us.

Beautiful afternoon on the water!
