Deja Vu

Great day on the water today. I knew it would be tough to top yesterdays trip but I think we did a more than respectable job. We got started early and hit some of the same areas as we did yesterday. Trout were still holding on the rocks in three to four foot of water. They were a bit more cooperative today. We had a noice box of fourteen trout and released a solid 27"+ Big Girl. Plumtreuse Devil Eyes were the hot ticket for trout. We also did quite well with the Cajun Pepper Devil Eyes. Click on the pics to enlarge.



Then we went outside the box and tried something a little different. I mentioned last week about the biggest school of black drum I had ever seen. Well, we went to look for them again and found them. This time we were prepared with some black 3" Berkley Gulp curl tails and had an absolute blast sightcasting to drum in six inches of water. We managed to trick fourteen into taking our offering. There is just something about sightcasting to fish in super skinny water that just gets your juices flowing. This isn't the greatest pic but will give you an idea of what we were catching all those drum out of.



On another note, the last four days I have seen numerous flights of blue wing teal on the bay. I'm getting pumped up about duck season and especially early teal. It looks like its going to be a great year.
