Another great afternoon on the water. The wind had picked up from the morning but we had a great tide to work with. We fished back in the creeks and along some of the flats today. We poled along a flat for a little while and we started to see redfish and stingrays everywhere. Everywhere that you would look there would be a stingray jumping out of the water on the edge of the mud. We were lucky that we were able to keep the baits away from. We saw a great big red working out in the middle and we had a great cast right in front of the fish. It was a big redfish. She did a great job fighting the fish in less than a foot of water keeping it away from the boat. The fish had mad a few big runs but was getting tired. We had it a few feet from the front of the boat and she did a good head shake at the top of the water and threw the jig. This fish was well over 30" and it was still a blast just to fight the fish in this shallow of water. Well now it was Tim's turn. We moved down the shoreline a around fifty yards and poled right up on a huge school of redfish. These fish did not show any signs of being there and in 20+ m.p.h. winds they had the advantage on us. Well I figured these fish would not settle back down for at least 20 minutes and it was getting late so we started up the motor and went after one more school of redfish. I had Tim throw at the oyster mound and first cast he had another big redfish on. This fish pulled us all over. It fought like a much bigger fish but was still a good fish at a little over 29". It was an awesome looking fish. It had a total of 58 spots. What a way to end the day.
