Left early Friday for Tiger Town to see the Clemson vs FSU game. We had a lot of fun until the game, which we won’t talk about. We left the game with our heads hung low but made a plan to get up early Sunday and head back so we could put the boat in the water. We hoped that a few fish would turn the weekend around. Got home, unpacked and were on the water by 4pm and went looking for bait. We found about 2 dozen shrimp and 1 mud minnow blind casting on a grass line. We anchored up to a spot we had fished in the past with moderate luck. The gf caught a few whiting and I mostly lost bait on the oyster rake. I tried cut mullet, shrimp and a DOA with only small bait stealers hitting. I decided I would put the one MM on a c-rig and let it sit. Well it sat for about 30 seconds before I so saw the rod tip twitch. I didn’t pay much attention thinking it was another bait stealer…and BAM!!, the rod doubled over and the fish started pulling line. I grabbed the rod and fought the fish to the boat. It made a couple of runs but the drag did it’s job and I landed my biggest spot tail yet. 34" and 15-16lb on the boga. It was a great fish and was released to catch another day. Them reds are getting addictive.
