Went redfish hunting again today with DPop. First stop was absolutely retarded! There were reds everywhere!! We watched fish busting, pushing and "crawling" all over the shoreline. We did manage to catch a few but they were very picky. They would swim up to the bait and explode in a different direction. This went on for quite some time, we caught a few on tops and spinner baits, but saw way more say no to our offerings. We made a few moves and saw and caught reds at most of the spots.
We fished a small bayou drain that was just hilarious with the reds draining out of a little marsh. had a few crush a sktter walk Jr. and a few more that ate the spinner. I made a cast at two fish that were easing down the edge of the bayou and had one swim up to it, raise up to the surface with it's back exposed, put it's nose to the lure, then just turn and swim away???
On one of our final drifts, as we came around a point, there was a single egret in about a 50 yard pocket, we started seeing the movements of the fish and made out way up to them. It was too shallow to troll, so I got on the platform and poled the boat towards them. They felt the boat as it drug over the scattered shells, and were laying low. Well, one made a mistake and showed itself, Daniel saw her and put the spinnerbait on her nose. It was on! So, after landing that fish and coming to the realization that the rest of the shoreline was filthy. As we were drifting out, Daniel noticed something that kept coming to the surface. As we got closer it surfaced again. Right about the time that we both came to the conclusion that it was a LARGE black drim, Daniel decided to see if she would eat a spinnerbait. About the time that she turned and gulped the spinner, he looked at me and asked, "why did I do that?" I couldn't help but laugh the whole time that he was fighting her, it was just one of those funny moments. We see plenty of them when fishing for reds, but rarely do they eat. This one had a bad attitude.
So I guess that she was the fish of the day. Big and ugly fo sho. Best guess would be in the 40-50 pound range. That pretty much brought the day to a close for us, not sure how many total reds, probably somewhere around 15, 1 trout and 1 flounder.
