Hit the Wando last night with a handful of lures and some larger sized mud minnows. Started off drift fishing some banks with oyster bars and drop offs that i typically fish in the daytime. I was pitching an array of colors and profiles, from all black lures to white, sparkly silver paddle tails, bright chartreuse top-waters and jerk shads. Meanwhile, i could hear/see bait fish busting the surface all around me, but couldn’t manage a bite on artificial in the dark, tried throwing a few live minnows…still no success. At one point i could see my rod tip twitching and main line traveling in the opposite direction of the current, i let it sit for a minute before reeling in, turns out my minnow was untouched, my best guess is thst a predator was close by and the minnow was trying to flee. 1:00am and frustrated i decided to hit a dock that i occasionally catch reds at during low tide. Threw a mud minnow out on a 1/4oz sinker in front of a dock of about 4-5’ depth and ended up catching a few reds, (1) 10", (1) 12" and the largest being close to 21".
