Corona Virus and Fishing Update

So far I'm up to 8 cancellations due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but I'm happy that folks are staying put and being safe. I have had a couple of folks fish the last couple of days and for those of you out there that are sitting at home and wishing you were fishing....we've had some really good bites.

The Flounder are beginning to move in - we caught 3 small ones (13") yesterday and about 5 today, with the biggest being around

15".  We've caught a handful of small Reds both days, a handful of small Trout both days, with a keeper here and there, and a Black "puppy" Drum.

Today one of my guests, Brooke, hooked up with a big Redfish, fishing a flooding marsh line at Spanish Drop and boy was it a battle. The big fish got over into the marsh grass eventually and locked down the line. We eased over to the grass and laid the boat up beside it and tried to dig the fish out of the grass, to no avail - the leader broke, OUCH!

But later we had another hookup by Maria and this one too tried to get up shallow. But Maria worked it out, fought it valiantly, and landed a nice 30.5" oversized Redfish which we photographed and released.  Brooke also caught and landed a Spansh Mackeral, all the way up at Pumpkin Hill!

We've had a couple of great days of fishing...ya'll stay safe...and hope to see you when this is all over.
