Bull Reds on Popping Corks *video*

We headed down to the Nuese River on 9/4/2013 with hopes of catching monster red drum on light tackle. We had no experience with the area, and really no idea where to fish. We got lucky and stumbled upon some fish working the top. We hung in the area all morning and it turned into one of the funnest mornings of fishing I have had in a long time! thanks for watching…..

Mid morning poppin’

Matt, Kent, and myself got out around 0930 for some mid morning poppin’ cork action.  We had some slightly overcast skies so I was hopeful for at least a decent bite.  Thats exactly what we had, a decent bite.  We caught small trout, small pups, small stripers, with a handful of decent fish in the mix. This was Kents second outing on my boat, and the first one was a skunk.  It was nice to get some redemption from that trip.  Next trip should be all time. Thanks for checking!

Uncharted

Matt, Tommy, and myself fished some new areas this morning and we had some excellent fishing, We caught plenty of nice trout, lots of drum with a handful of keepers, a few stripers, and a 19″ flounder.  Enjoyed the morning guys! Luckily I had some duct tape on board to fix a small leak in a rotten gas line bulb.  Duct tape fixes everything.

Dubs

Fish with Matt and company this morning.  We departed the ramp at 0600 and headed to the fishing grounds.   We arrived to some calm glassy conditions with little bait pods moving around.  It looked promising and we nailed a trout on the first or second cast.  I decided to move up into shallower water to try and find the guys a red.  No luck there so we moved back out and get some nice solid trout in the boat include a 21 incher.  Picked away at them with some throwback trout drum flounder and striper.  We managed a few more keeper trout and Eric who caught the 21 inch trout also hit a nice 19 inch drum later in the morning.  Once the sun got up things went pretty dry with a hit here and a hit there in the last hour of the trip. Overall these guys were pumped and I enjoyed there company.

Kens Birthday Grand Slam

Good friend Ken and myself spent his birthday morning searching for some fish to pull on.  The grey overcast gloomy day started off pretty slow with a couple trout a small striper and alot of missed bites.  I decided to make a move and it was game on!  First a nice trout, then drum after drum for a couple hours, a few flounder mixed in, and smiles all around.  It was just one of those magic mornings.   We headed in after a few high fives to go check the surf.  We were greeted with some sun waist to chest high waves with nobody out.  I felt like it was my birthday too.  Enjoyed the morning Ken, Happy Birthday dude!
