I had a 3 person trip which consisted of a father and son and a good buddy of theres. They came down from the Fredricksburg area to get away and have some fun.
We got a late start, as they didnt have the desire to get up early so at 7 am we left the house in search of trout early and reds late. We hit East bay to find some trout and things were not looking too good.
We did pick up 5 decent trout, with Ryan (17 year old) losing a trout of a lifetime right at the boat. It would have gone a high 7# to mid 8# and was fairly long.
After around 1030, we decided to try the jetties to see if we could play with some sheepies since they have not ever caught many. We got over there, water was in great shape and fish were there ,but man were they spooky. Didnt even get a snif from the sheepies.
It was getting to be about 1230, so we decided to run back to west and find some reds to play with. By the time we got back into west, the wind was howling and water was getting pretty offcolor so we decided to try a spot with some Midcoast corks and gulps in about 3 ft of water...
FIRE DRILL TIME lol. We got on the first drift and started getting a few hits. Once I got the proper instructions down (loud pops and LOTS OF them lol) we started to hit a few fish. We did 3 drifts and had 7 reds on. By this time it was close to time to go, so we headed in.. They were great customers and appeared to have a good time. Thanks Chip, Ryan and Richard. I had a great time!
