It wasn't long after the first bait was in the water that Jess was hooked up with her first redfish ever. It put up a nice fight and even pulled a good bit of drag. Shortly after taking pictures of that fish Mike had a really nice trout on. It was such a nice trout that I assumed, during half the fight, that it was a redfish. Both fish ate greenbacks fished under a cork.
Shortly after that, the wind started to blow and when I say blow I mean howl.
We chop on the water made it hard to see the fish when they were in the water
and the only time we saw the two schools of redfish there, they were so close to
the boat that they spooked. I decided to leave that flat in search of other fish
hoping that we could find some hiding on the lee side of some islands that
wouldn't be so spooky. It was tough the rest of the day. The wind, more than anything, can really make finding fish hard. It puts a chop on the water, it can muddy the water up, and it can even hold a tide out and keep it from coming in. Luckily, at the last spot of the day we got into some more trout and finished the day strong with everybody catching fish.
