Peanut Butter and Smashed XP

Long time lurker, 1st actual fishing report:
Boat’s been in the shop for way too long (that’s another story) so took the canoe out Saturday afternoon on the falling tide to check out some favorite paddle-to spots. #1 spot was taken so tried another usually less productive spot. Tide was dropping through an oyster funnel and the reds were eating whatever came through. Drifted a black and purple peanut butter with the occasional twitch and picked up 3 slotties and a 30 incher before a feisty one ran under the canoe several times smashing my 8 weight XP. Didn’t feel like changing out my 10 weight from the shark set up so resorted to the spinning rod to pick up a few more. They are hungry right now, really need to get my boat back and get out more often!

Yes, that XP has been my favorite for many years, this will be it’s 4th or 5th trip back to Sage, and most likely not it’s last. I’ll have to think twice about putting on the peanut butter though.
