What a great start to the New Year. The weather has been great and the fish have been abundant. There has also been some thick FOG…
Leaving the dock Friday the 2nd with George Zitzewitz and his son Brett the visibility was about 100ft so it was a slow ride to the first spot but well worth it.
Working a very low incoming tide in a little creek with live shrimp on jig heads it was a mixed bag of Drum/Reds to 25 inches and 1 Flounder.
I think we caught 6 Drum in the 16 inch range and at least 20 rat Reds with one nice 6lb Red in the boat and another in the same class that broke off on the shell mound.
I think Brett caught a few more fish than his dad but it was pretty close…
We moved to the ICW and worked plastics on a shell drop and caught quite a few small Trout. All in all we keep the Rods bent most of the morning. That's not a bad way to start the New Year in anybody's book!!!
Thanks for a great time guys and a Happy New Year to all.
