On todays charter we first went to fish Redfish Pass! There the fishing was slightly better then yesterday, we caught a bunch of Ladyfish and a few keeper size Trout, but that was not good enough for us, so I decided to try the oyster bars again!

And I definitely made the right move! We caught a bunch of nice Redfish!

On todays charter, the fishing started off slow.

We first went to Redfish Pass to fish the grass beds with lures. There we caught a few Silver Trout along with a ton of Ladyfish. After that we decided to try the oyster bars.

That is where the fishing really picked up! We caught six or seven nice Redfish and one massive Snook within a 45 minute period!

This photo is from a week or so ago …

These are the days that that try fishermen’s souls … it has been brutal out there so far today.

We couldn’t get anything going on the first two trips of the day.  The water was just sitting there … no tidal movement at all.

We’re back out this afternoon until early evening and, hopefully, our luck changes.
