My buddy and I launched right at 7am and headed out to RedfishGrillage for some early morning red chasin. As we rounded the bend I heard DolphinD rolling up to the boat landing so we waited for them to catch up and the day was on... The whole day was an awesome experience but I'll be thinkning twice about hitting this spot at low tide again First time I got my YAK stuck on mud... but that's another story... Dolphin D landed about 6 billion reds, several in the slot but plenty over-slot, ScottyD hung a nice red on the fly but lost the battle at the boat, Sandford landed at least 3 nice reds all well over-slot and even managed to bury a fly shank deep in himself so he gets credit for the biggest hook up of the day ... My buddy Bo, his 1st time in a yak, landed his first fish from a yak, a nice 30" red and later a slot red, and I ended the day with one slot red and two trout, one dink about 12" and another about 18"... We saw dolphins, bottlenose not the one in the Ride 135 , DESTROYING schools of reds, I actually saw one hit where it looked like about 6 fish flew out of the water, at one point you could hear the dolphins breathing and it sounded like they were winded... serves 'em right for spookin my redfish! Even with the grounding of the boats and the EXTREMELY long day it was blast and I can't wait to do it again... now on with the pix...
Mornin..
Paddlin out...

Thanks y'all... yeah we have some monster reds up here. Scotty hooked up on one with a fly that was easily 40" and well over 20lbs... I was too far away fot the pic but I could see it in the distance... All our reds now are schooling up on the flats 2-300 strong and when flipper ain't bustin them up we tear them up pretty good. The trout bite has been on and isn;t slowing down any either... gonna try chasing the trouties with the long rod this weekend...
