Wednesday Ray Hunzicker was back and had the camera along to get some footage for an upcoming Show of "Ray Huntzicker Outdoors". Well what a difference a day makes I was a little worried when I stepped out of my truck and felt the 20 to 25 mph wind at the dock, Just FISH is what I told myself and it will all work out. Well Ray was little late due to traffic no problem. I went to some proctected area's trying to stay out of the wind and we put some trout in the box and got some film but it just was not happening time to move. Made a fairly long run to a deep canal that empties a large lake and the speckled trout were there and shrimp jumping out of the water. YES! it was on. steady action until the limit of specks on ice. Now Ray had all kind of trout on film but the day would not be done until we got some line stretching drag pulling reds on the camera too. It took a few moves into the interior marsh and ponds before we found some reday to do battle. A few nice redfish and black drum and it was time to call it a day. The wind had picked up to 30 mph by then and it was a rough ride across so of the bigger Lakes and Bay's which were white capping now. Awesome catch on a day with terrible weather.
