The 2014 random maggots fishin stoke

Got out after some Redfish yesterday with my old man. We were working a school nicely until a couple other boats noticed what we were up to and charged in running their motors and getting right on top of them. They chased the school off the flats and we never found them again.:nonono2::nonono2::nonono2:

We did manage a few scores before the idiot brigade showed up.

^^^ Cool.
The redfish have been ignoring me this year.
I think I need to switch back to live bait, the plastics and spoons are not working so far.

We caught those on these: http://www.livetargetlures.com/produ...ter/shrimp.php

Sprayed with this: http://www.amazon.com/Berkley-Alive-.../dp/B003NX25WW

The shrimp are a little pricey but you could probably do just as well with DOAs.

Live targets look better than DOA, never had any luck with DOA.
Live or dead shrimp under a popping cork use to work in the sound but nothing so far this year around the docks and piers. May head north to the upper bays and try the grass flats, there are a few reports of guys killing it up there.

Yeah, should be big fish in schools of 100s on the flats through Oct if it's like Tampa.

Really sick vid roos. Ridiculous brown.

These fish were caught on a barbless hook, carefully handled with wet hands and released in an undisclosed location by a random maggot.

This is Spencer. Super nice guy who came down from Seattle to do a little fishing in UT. I didn't feel comfortable asking how but Spencer got injured while fighting for our country. I spent the morning teaching him and some of his friends how to fly fish as part of the Wounded Warriors program. Spencer had never fished before but by the end of the morning he had his reach cast down and was getting fish to rise for dry flies. It was a very rewarding morning, I'm pretty psyched I got to spend some time with these guys.

Just got back from a dealer trip. Drank too much, slept too little. The shingles I had last month are firing on all cylinders. But it was pretty rad.

We met up @ Shoreline @ 0600 and hit the bait boat for some fresh cigars and pointed it south.

Then busted our way out to the edge and attempted to set up on our first stop where we were marking pretty good cluster of mingos and hoping for a some grouper in the mix.

Forecast called for 1' to 2' ended up being 3' to 4' with a ocasional 5' to 6' white capping over the transom making it very difficult to stand up and drop lines. Soon settled into manageable drift but the bite was slow all morning and around 11:00 the seas started to calm down which allowed us to bounce around looking for the bite.

Mingo madness with one lucky scamp thrown in.
