winter reds

[Three se7ens]

It was a chilly morning, 40 degrees with the wind blowing from the north.  Kevin(padre), myself and one more person went out in kayaks in search of red drum, and boy did we find them.  I hooked the first fish, a 25" red, and the bite was on fire for most of the day.  The final count was somewhere above 50 reds landed between the three of us, and nearly all were safely released.  I kept a few of the mid sized ones for dinner.  Kevin tagged six reds over 20# before releasing them.   

Once the sun had been out for a bit, it turned into a really nice day.  Cool, light breeze, very clear water, and the fish were biting all day.  Almost no boat traffic, and a complete lack of people out fishing aside from us made for a fantastic day.  Im loving fishing these cool winter days.

Nice work Adam. Nothing beats a great day on the water, with plenty of fish around, and no one else to catch them but you!!!

Nice to see the man that has been making us some awesome custom parts get a little break for a little fishing.
Nice report Adam! I'm not sure I would get in that kayak at this time of year, but you're younger than me

Best,

Nice!  We caught our first Red Drum this October behind Ocracoke in NC, what a blast on light line!

Another chilly morning, and another shot at some nice inshore fishing.  Maybe this cold blast the past couple of days is to blame, but not much of anything was interested all day.  Went out with 3 other people, and it started off like it was going to be a good day.  Zach and I both hooked up with good size reds at the same time not long after we got there.  Mine measured out at 23", but I didnt bother to take a pic, figuring there would be more.  Then it all but shut down.  Only one more red was landed the rest of the day.  All were nice fish, but they just werent schooled up like they usually are.  I think we just caught a few stragglers.  Not a bad day though, all 4 of us caught fish.  And it turned into a beautiful day once the sun had been up for a little bit.
