Bear and Redfish
Carol and I took in a day of "fun" fishing and brought along our dog, "Bear", for the trip. We'd had to wait an a AC technician to check out our unit so we didn't launch the boat until around 1pm. We headed out to the jetties and tried our luck with a whole crab on the bottom with some serious heavy tackle, but after not getting any bites for about an hour, we came back to the mouth of Jolley River. We anchored and dropped the heavy tackle with crab again. No bites here so we headed up Jolley to fish the oyster lined banks. Carol's first cast with shrimp on the bottom produced a hard fighting feisty Redfish! It wasn't long after the first when she hooked up again and had another Redfish in the boat. I knew I had to get started so I started tossing a 1/4oz jig tipped with shrimp and soon I was hooking up, too!
We fished the bank for about two hours and ended up with 12 Redfish and we also had a nice 15" Flounder to go with them. The weather was beautiful and the fishing was great, another great day to be out on the water!
