Hit the Wando this morning to fish a couple hours eac hside of low tide. The trout bite was nice on the falling tide just after sunrise. Caught a few dinks on topwater and a couple more trolling a grub. Picked up a little flounder on the gold spoon with chartreuse curly tail trailer.
Hit an oyster bar and spooked a couple of reds, so I tossed the gold spoon downstream, one twithc, two twitches, and BAM fish on. Funny now that we want big fish I’m catching slotties, last month wanted slotties and slaughtered the big fish. :shock:
Set up on a deep channel and started picking at the trout. Still mostly dinks, but finally got one legal one.
That gets me to 36 for starters.
I headed downstream and trolled a paddle tail grub and the gold spoon. All of a sudden the yak began to shake and the drag started screaming. I thought I’d hung up on an oyster bar… at least until the “snag” changed directions swam past and started ripping off more line. I was hooked into a BIG OLE RED. Fought it through 2 long runs before getting cut off on oysters. Lost my favorite spoon. 
After that I headed back upstream to fish one of my favorite docks. I sat there and caught mid to upper slot reds non stop for an hour. I stopped counting after 20 and just sat there catching and laughing like a loon. I think I caught the prettiest red I’ve ever seen today. Bright copper like a new penny with a bright lue tail. the pic doesn’t do it justice.
Who’s ready for a sleigh ride?
