Report from the weekend -two half day inshore trips...
Saturday- had Wells Martin and brother-in-law Jerry aboard. We chased redfish and trout. The water was no very clear but we did manage to find one small school of reds that would bite. Wells hooked a nice fish that pulled off some drag then came unhooked- then he landed one on the next cast. Jerry also caught a red as well. We hit spot after spot on could only manage one speck. Sorry no pictures of Wells - we made him cameraman for the day- but he did catch fish- I promise!!! We had a good time and I hope to have these guys back soon!
Sunday- had John Hogg and friend Larry aboard. We debated on whether to even go or not the forecast was for the wind to pick up to 30+ mph at lunch time. We took a chance and hid out in some smaller creeks. John was one the best fly casters I have ever had- this guy was good! But Larry was chunking live shrimp and given the choice the fish would not eat any flies! We tried a flat to try and find one big fish in the shallows- but the wind was unbearable! Ended up with four reds and a speckled trout- Good morning with some great guys...
Congratulations to Brandon Dean and Chad Casteen they fished the Fisherman's Post Spring Inshore Challenge and both finished in the top 10! We have a couple of openings for the weekend and the weather is looking nice - give us a call at 866-395-FISH...
