Marsh Trout & Reds: Video Added

[surfpunk]

Met a few buddies at the launch this morning. It was Nate's birthday and we all had the same idea. What a better way to spend a birthday than getting muddy in the Texas marsh. There was a strong incoming tide all day, and the water was very silty. We cruised shorelines, open water, shell, and ledges. We started on a ledge where Jared and I both picked up one red. They took off to search elsewhere, while I stayed behind and found a solid trout bite. Picked up 8 trout from 16'' to 25'', and one 29'' redfish. I drifted over some mud flats and sight-casted another 29'', and a 24'' redfish. I used my H&H Queen Cocahoe Minnow in black with chartreuse tail all morning. It was my first time to give the H&H EWX rod a workout. The sensitivity really helped me feel the soft bites today. All fish were CPR'D.

LOL. I was really lucky to get this shot. The wind was to my back and I was drifting with the current. Not having to paddle really helped me edge closer with my rudder and not spook the Osprey. I was snapping pics the entire time and luckily got this one right before he took off.

The Osprey was the icing on the cake, great pics.

Very nice fish. Looks like you had some strong water movement where you are set up there.

Thanks! The strong incoming tide helped stir up a bite.
