Two day report from the Beach. Friday and Saturday my guests were Roger Cannon, Wayne Bennett, Fred Landrum, and Randy Burnhan all from Georgia. Friday we got an early start and headed straight out to the Sound. We pulled up to a small wellhead and tossed out Campo's live shrimp on a Carolina rig. The big Trout were coming to the net so fast I could hardly keep up, then the Gorilla Reds showed up and the fun began. Nothing like having everyone hooked up and drags screaming. We kept 3 of the smaller ones and released some big monsters before we had to get out of there to find some more Trout. We made a move and got a good bite of some big Trout, solid 2-4 pound fish. With Trout limits done we tried to pick up some small Reds in the marsh, but only found a couple of Drum before calling it a day. Total catch for the day was 125 Trout, 3 Reds, 15 Sheepshead, 4 Drum, and 1 Spanish.
Saturday started out at the same wellhead as Friday, but the Trout were few and the bull Reds thick. The guys were having a blast with the big Reds and running all around the boat with screaming drags in all directions. The Reds were aggressive and hitting anything be it a bare hook or a hooked Trout. Had one Red come up and eat a Trout at boat side before it could be pulled out the water. We landed the Red and got the Trout back too, see photo. With all the Reds the guys could stand off for some Trout we went. We made several moves picking up quality Trout at each. Our action slowed so we ran back to Eloi and got on a fast bite and the limits were finished quickly. Total Catch for the day was 125 Trout, 5 Reds, 25 Sheepshead, 4 Drum, 2 Flounder, and 1 Pompano. The guys caught a ton of fish and had a great time. With fishing like this how could you not have a great time. We have been catching a lot of fish with limits filled all of June so far and the hot action will continue in July and August also.
