EPIC SESSION TONIGHT
Paddled to this backwaters area I’ve been meaning to check out for the longest time. Boy did it pay off.
Took me a while to get into the key area, but I knew I was there when I saw a HUGE fish on the flat brooming his tail and having his back out the water. He was so shallow he couldn’t help but belly crawl, I followed this big boy for a couple minutes, until he got into some open area, swam a 2" rootbeer gulp shrimp in his face and he was on. This guy went nuts, makes sense measured at 30inches easily the biggest I’ve ever caught/seen on the flats around here, or in FL for that matter.
Released the big boy, then headed on, by this time the water was really startin to come up, and some football field size spartina flats began to open up. Didn’t find many fish it what looked like perfect water, I’ve found that the fish hang by the channel mostly. Came up on another boy right as the sun was about to go down and was able to pick him up. Perfect SC 24" top slot, this guy swallowed the hook though, so he’ll be grilled up tomo.
Cool sight, saw a deer hoof deep in water around one of the marsh islands. It was drinkin bambi style and as soon as it saw me it galloped off back into the woods. Thing must’ve walked out there at dead low…now if I was a hunter, tonight would’ve made for an all time slam.
Didn’t see as many fish as I would’ve liked, but goin 2/2 aint bad at all…awesome session!
