Pelican Island

Launched near Pelican Island this morning. Sat out a light rain then got to work with a chartreuse jighead and red/gold paddle tail jig.
Stayed busy for a couple of hours out there. Final tally: 3 ladyfish, 3 Snook, 2 Redfish, 1 Jack and 1 Trout.
All released except the largest Redfish. At 24", that one will make a fine dinner tonight.

Excellent. that is a beautiful area. Was water fairly clear?

Not clear.... but about what it historically looks like this time of year.
It's been a while since I've fished that area. Used to be my "go to" spot, but things had gotten ugly and activity dropped off.
My results yesterday may not be typical but I was heartened by the variety and amount of activity in just a couple of hours.

Nice report -- Thanks.

With any luck the water will clear up. It can be a great place to sight fish for reds.
