Ladies Rule


I fished yesterday morning with Don and Diane Lloyd of the Austin,Texas area. We had a beautiful morning beginning with a little fog that burned off quickly with some sunshine. We ran up to the Horsehead area, fishing the oyster lined banks on the last of on outgoing tide with dressed jig heads and shrimp or mudminnows. With no real bites we moved on to the rocks of Seymour's Pointe fishing the pilings and rocks with a float rig and the jig combo. I'd have rather of been fishing the incoming tide there, but I think the wind that had picked up kept pushing the water out, so we ran further down to Broward Island for some nice conditions. It wasn't long before Diane hooked up, had a brief run, then lost a fish! Not to be deterred, Diane continued to cast her jig up near the structure and it paid off with another hookup and the battle was one. She played the fish perfectly and eventually boated a nice slot-sized 20" 4lb Redfish! We wrapped up the day fishing Broward Island and counted it as another great day to be out on the water!
