Good grief, what a day!
Specks here and there, no every cast bite today. Bailed on them to look for reds, and went into some shallow drains. Saw a red tailing, threw to him and watched him eat. He had a buddy with him who didn't leave even as I was getting mine. Rinsed and repeated sightfishing reds in clear water 1.5ft deep. Caught 9 out of 10 (one i messed up on and threw too close to him and spooked him). Went back to specks and caught some more as well as some more incidental reds and a flounder.
Normally I only keep 1 red, but there were so many I decided to keep my limit (3) of 21 to 22in reds, released all the 24 to 25in ones.
In total, I ended up with 15 reds, 35 specks, and 1 flounder. Also lost a huge black drum right at the boat
I cannot imagine anything more fun than sightfishig reds when they are that hungry. Usually when I sight fishing them, I can only get about 1 out of 3 to bite. Not today, they made feel like I knew what I was doing!
