Another windy Saturday

[sfurman]

Got out Saturday morning in spite of the threat of rain in the Big Bend, the wind was kicking butt though. Planned on getting a red for dinner and a few trout to take home to FIL so, I loaded up the cooler with ice and the kayak in the truck and headed out. Plan was to go scouting in the woods later for turkey hunting next weekend.

As I paddle to the fishing spot I look down between my legs and there is no cooler, I left it sitting in the kitchen, so looks like this will be a catch and release day after all. I Managed a few small reds with this one being the biggest maybe 21”.



Wind was kicking butt so I tried to stay close to the saw grass to try to block it a little. Fishing was surprisingly slow, I thought it would be better and I didn’t even get any trout until I came back into the creek and fished a hole and there I caught 3 nice trout but they would have had to be measured, probably 14.5 to 15.5. Never did rain but, did I mention the wind was kicking butt. Anyway, we had pizza that night and all is good in the Hatch.

Be happy with the Reds you caught. I haven't seen or caught one in month now. The water is warm enough. They should be showing up soon.

Manning,

Hate ta tell ya this but I played Red or Yellow out at "The Button" Sunday at daybreak. Jacks or Redfish on top water until about 9:30am. A 26-3/4 came home as he completely inhaled a Spook Jr. I could not get it out. And he was the smallest caught!

I was at BW Sunday too. Was a little later than usual due to traffic jam from the race. Tons of jacks, trout and snook. Did not see any reds. Can't believe I didn't run into you out there.
