Capt. Kolten Braun lit them up with live shrimp letting me know at 8:00am that full limits were on board and they were looking for Trout and Black Drum.

Redfish continue to jockey for position over mud/grass with schools moving on water levels changes and wind shifts. The latest front wasn't near the catalyst for a strong feed as the previous but it still had guests busy working drags and having a ball.
Flounder Gigging
Wade gigging proved less affective than Flounder Boats that were able to located fish in soft and bottomless bayous where the fish had congregated.
ournament Reds have been in abundance, fish pushing right at the 28" mark, and that's made for lots of drag burning runs taking our equipment to the limits.
We'll be looking for big winds out of some direction to really start to set things up for strong feeding catalysts ahead of and through weather systems. Periods of instability right now can make for some memorable trips and great days.
Gator Dodson, yep that's his real name his parents gave him after the character from Smokey and the Bandit played by Burt Reynolds. He was a guest during the season and he was kind enough to bring his 1951 Mack Truck that was "tricked out" on the Vegas Rat Rods TV show on The Discovery Channel.
Explosive action on schools of Redfish solid and bursting the slot to 32" have come to hand on both artificial lures and live bait. Talk about kicking Septebmer off right! Light Northerly winds and blown up tides seem to be the ticket.
