Today I had Duane and Rachael. They were also from south Florida and the weather continued to be just perfect. We started the day out with the water a sheet of glass. The first spot I was poling the boat in some super shallow water and we had a huge school of redfish pushing wakes all around us. It took a good 30 minutes to get on to bite but it was Duane's first redfish and he was stoked. He is a big snook and tarpon fisherman in Jupiter but there are not many redfish to be had. That is where I grew up fishing and I never caught one down there. It was an added bonus that his first redfish was sight fished. We then continued to some different creeks since the wind was starting to blow and these fish just were not in the feeding mood. After a few smaller redfish and some nice redfish under his belt I went to a spot that was less than a foot deep in the back of a creek to get him the big boy. He hooked into a nice fat upper slot redfish that fought great. From there we were able to continue to catch some more redfish and some blackdrum and trout as well. I still love the pursuit of a snook but sine we do not have any up this far north I am really learning to love and appreciate the red drum, especially when you can get on some monsters in a foot of water.
