Little Redfish
I forgot to mention when I posted about Tropical Storm Barry, we did get out on June 2nd for some bay fishing. The waves on the Gulf were 10- 12 feet easily and the beach was totally covered (up to the boardwalk on stump pass beach). So we fished Lemon Bay. There are plenty of oyster bars all around Lemon Bay that provide all the right stuff for Red Fish. Well we hit the tide just about right and threw some free lined shrimp right at a couple of oyster beds. I did battle with a couple of nice RedFish, followed by two surprise snook attacks!
Anyway, this bay fishing trip was followed by our failed attempt down in Boca Grand Pass on Sunday June 3. It seems ALL the fish went off shore, including the "white bait", or "green backs" as they call them. We tried to get some bait for snook, reds, and trout....but noth'in showed up. So it was just a long boat ride on Sunday. Fortunately Monday had some treats, for which I am still sore from!
More pictures to come!
