The air temperature was in the high 50's when I picked Cody and Samantha "Sam" Buettner up at the dock and there was only a slight breeze. We purchased some really nice live local shrimp from the Bait House on N. 14th Street and headed up to Jolley River. Cody and Sam were visiting from upstate New York and were excellent anglers; with just a few casts under his belt, Cody was ho
oked up with a beautifully colored
Seatrout. He picked up a couple of more and then Sam hooked up with a huge fish. The drag ripped off and she fought the fish like a pro. Sam and Cody both worked the fish together and then Sam handed the rod off to Cody to finish the battle. After what seemed like an eternity, we netted the 30", 10lb redfish - a beautiful specimen. Fishing the flooded oyster beds with the live shrimp under Cajun Thunder floats produced (9) Seatrout and (4) Redfish for the day. In addition to the oversized Red, they also boated a nice 26" slot-sized Red. You know it's a nice fishing day when your guest (Sam) says after catching her 3rd Red, " Ok, I'm ready to catch a trout!"
