Got up super early to put boston butts in the smoker for my daughter’s 1st birthday party so I figured I would head out at 0530. It was already warm and muggy. Plenty of bait crashing so I tried topwater first to no avail. Switched it up to a gulp and a scrawny piece of frozen shrimp and managed 3 slot reds in about an hour or so. The reds were slamming the bait and really fighting a lot harder than most redfish that size. Maybe it was just me or maybe all the bait had them riled up? Flipper ran through my lines on about 4 separate occasions so I finally packed it up. Stopped by the grocery store to buy breakfast and was back home by 0730. All fish released. Not a bad way to start the day.
