Went out for a late walk in the grass last night trying to get a buddy on a couple of tailing fish for the first time. Arrived to the flat about 30 minutes early, but it was a good time to discuss gameplan and what to look for and all that stuff.
Weather was ideal, low wind, light temperatures, and no boat traffic. I knew it was going to be a challenge because the larger tides, but the water came on the flat slow enough that we were seeing tails within ten minutes of getting out there. We just kept walking shallower and shallower as the tide came in. That kept us seeing tails for a good while.
We were on the flat probably a total of an hour or so and saw easily 30+ fish. Most were tailing, busting on bait, doing thier thing. Some were cruising with buddies. I threw at four and managed one OTF. He was actually swimming with a buddy side by side and they both saw the fly and went after it at the same time. That was a first for me. Big explosion and I had no idea what happened, I just know that I came tight on the flyline and it was fish on time!!
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitution with as much water as was predicted. Walking back towards the boat we were in close to waist deep water. Big full moon tide last night. God bless the lowcountry.
Amen to that. Did the same thing two nights ago and again this morning. Hooked up with 4, caught 3 but one broke off. There is no better fishing on the planet than stalkin’ one of those bass in the grass.
23, somebody is quite obviously very jealous…me thinks you should go flounder gigging, deep hole shrimping and swordfishing tonight just to piss him off…
