In Search of Big Girls
Rediculously high north winds were definitely expected during weather forecasts for this morning. My group of guys and I strapped on the frog togs along with the waders and headed south in search of clean water holding some quality fish.
First wade consisted of a half limit of keeper specks using red/white soft plastics. Topwaters and Corky's just were not producing like they have in the previous weeks.
The following wade found us wading along the ICW spoils that have been producing for us lately with fair results. The water was great and the wind was not too much of a nuisance; the bite just never really turned on. It was an all morning grind for the fish we obtained until we took a break for lunch.
The afternoon was all about drifting with weedless spoons and red/white Brown Lure tails.
Making drifts across potholes to the south of Mansfield was productive for scattered specks and reds. Garrett boxed a redfish at 27 3/4 inches-a perfect tournament red. Sunset found us cleaning fish and preparing for some karaoke fun at El Jefe's. Saturday will most likely consist of a trip back home and hopefully Sunday will find me in East Matagorda chasing some big girls with hopefully more consistent action. It was a slot week here on the lower coast....you win some you lose some..I'd say we did in between!-Kyle
