Made the drive down to AP this morning planning to work the drains and cuts from LHL to the Lydia Ann hoping to find some flounder staging or maybe a few trout hanging out in the deep water.
Paddled up to the first spot and started working the drain when I heard a bunch of noise farther back, take a look over my shoulder and see bait getting busted and a couple of tails up at the grass line. 30 minutes later I've got 2 red's on the stringer, 1 undersized thrown back, and 1 clean cut off on the shell.
Moved to the next drain and repeated the same. Had a limit of redfish before 10 AM.
I Had a few good hits from flatties but I haven't quite mastered the proper hook set for them yet
Closed out the day playing with the Trout in the deeper channels. caught one nearly every cast for almost 2 hours, only one keeper in the bunch but it sure was a lot of fun.
Caught all but one fish with pumpkinseed/chart. Assassins, 1/8th oz head worked nice and slow along the bottom
Sounds like you had a good day in the end.
