And another...

So, I took the weekend off to hunt ducks with my son.  We had a great two days with a limit of Wood Ducks for each of us.

He had the opportunity to get some overtime on Monday so I decided to fish.  It was no surprise that all the rain we had this weekend really trashed up the water.  I was able to catch a nice Trout in the dark....and catch 7 snook throwing to windy points.... I actually saw 3 Reds...but with poor conditions they were pretty close and spooky...no Red. 

Tuesday we hunted again and again we each killed a limit of wood ducks.

Mine...



I was faced with a choice for the morning...hunt alone since it was my sons duty day...or fish....I opted for fish.
I saw topwater guy was already launched when I got to Yacht club. My first spot was empty but the second one was loaded with mullet and I was able to get 3 snook and a very nice trout...along with a ladyfish and jack. I went in search of Redfish...but it was snook after snook... till I was at 7. Broke off a couple also. 
The wind had died off and it was getting very hot. The one Red I saw disappeared under a bush never to be seen again. It was starting to get oppressively hot and I saw some bait scatter just ahead...pitched in and....

So... Yesterday was no Redfish... pretty windy and while I did get a couple trout and 3 snook...the two Reds I saw were not persuaded.

Today, there was a ton of bait at my first spot and with very light wind...both noseeums and fish bit. I managed 2 large jacks before catching a very nice Trout and a snook..... moved on and after looking at two spots I finally got lucky when this guy stuck his tail in the air and gave away his position.....

I don't understand the animosity....simply asked if you caught any keepers?

So, I spent the weekend chasing little brown ducks ( teal ) shot a few but now we are back to fishing.
I got out and the wind was already ripping. There was lots of bait at my first spot...but no predators eating.
I hit my next spot and felt I had the hard one handled....

I ran to my next spot to catch a trout...and it took a little looking but I did...
On to snook....and it was not hard to find a few.... 3 just like this ...

Short of the slot but fun....

Done at 9:15.... # 113
