First trip of 2017

I ended up taking December, January, and February off from fishing but was finally able to get an afternoon trip in with JGJ a few days ago.
He beat me to the coast by a little over an hour and picked up a limit of trout and a couple flounder while waiting on me to get there. Once I arrived, we decided to head in a different direction than usual and explore a new area for redfish.
We spent the day in about 2 feet of water, fishing around heavy patches of submerged shell. My fish came on a super spook jr, Bass Assassin sea shads, and a Strike Pro Hunchback. They were all solid fish that measured 27 7/8, two 26 3/4, a 25, 24, and a 22. Grant found 5 or 6 reds also to complete the slam with some nice sized ones as well. Hopefully they'll still be hanging around when tourney season kicks off.
