Wando 8/13

Saltwater Inshore Reports

Went up the wando today after giving up on trying the offshore thing. I’m off this week and I’m doing some fishing!!

Bait was everywhere and before long I had about 50 fm and only about 20 shrimp. Stopped at my first spot and immediately start catching trout. All too small, all on shrimp. All were 12-13".

Quickly ran out of shrimp and by now the tide was low, so I went to try another spot for some more shrimp. Found em!! After the third cast with the net, I had about 300 shrimp (I think, couldn’t see the bottom of the live well any more).

So I went to try another spot and wound up catching about a dozen or so rat reds. Then moved to a dock and caught three over slot reds.
Finished up with a few more small trout in another spot and called it a day.

Long day but very enjoyable didn’t catch any keepers, but still very fun.

I didn’t have that much shrimp on my bait last shrimping season. This season should be good. I wouldn’t call em decent, they were just big enough to not get out of the net. There was just so many in the last creek I stopped in, I couldn’t help but catch a bunch.

Always like to hear that there are some shrimp in the creek this time of year.
