                    Hello fellow anglers. What a great day on the wat

A table full for the Tennesee group

er with a fine family in from Nashville Tennessee for some of the greatest fishing on the planet and today was spot on as the chefs of the world would say. I met the guys RE. Jake  his son Tom and his youngest son Bill at the dock at 6  am and they were ready to stretch their collective strings and I said it was on and off we went.

                   The weather didn’t look particularly promising we we left the dock but as they say it is what it is and we were lucky most of the day dodging the showers with only getting caught a couple of time but it was just enough rain to cool things off for a minute and then it would pass on. I had a solid game plan for the day with a good friend of mine on some good fish in the Black Bay area and many thanks to him they were still there and hungry. The first stop around the islands produced 20 nice trout and 3 reds and 1 fat flounder until a squall came at us and forced us to move further out into the bay but that was a good thing because at the second stop that was all it took to finish off their limits of nice trout up to 4.5 pounds and a few reds and a few flounders mixed in. Just as we hit their limits the weather started to look bad to the south so I asked the guys if they wanted to try for some reds and try to sty dry and the all agreed that was a good plan of attack so off to the interior pounds we went. We hit a few pounds until we found just the right combination of current and structure on the points and the fish were there and eating the shrimp up but it was mostly black drums and the guys didn’t want any drums so they caught about 25 or 30 drag pulling drums and 3 nice red fish and 1 more flounder to fill the fish box to its rim before the rain was on our heels again and we headed to the barn with smiles all around and brisk conversation about their next trip down to fish with us in a couple of months.

                   Most of the fish today were caught on live shrimp 3 feet under a rattling cork but we also caught a few fish on shrimp carolina rigged ans Tom even caught about 10 or 12 trout on a opening night plastic grub rigged up on a flutter hook and the plastic fish were a little bigger than the live bait fish but they bit a lot slower. These guys sure could fish good and it an easy day on the boat when people know what they are doing and want to do every thing for them selves which I don’t mind doing at all but they insisted that I help get them some meat for their freezers and I gladly obliged them. This family fishes with me on a regular basis and are chomping at the bit waiting for their next trip. The final fish count for the day was 75 fat speckled trout 6 reds and 3 flounders.
