Windy weekend report from the Beach. I had the pleasure of fishing with Jim and his daughter Lauren. Jim fished with me last year and wanted to put Lauren on some Trout and Reds. Since they flew into town and were not interested in keeping much if any fish to take home it was mostly catch and release. They really wanted to get on some of the big Gorilla Reds in the Sound, but the strong winds kept us close in on the edge of the Sound and in the marsh. Saturday we fished on the edge and got on a good Trout bite that stopped after a while when the tide stopped. From there we went on the hunt for Reds in the marsh. They caught several nice Reds, Drum, and Sheepshead. It was an action filled day of fishing, but none of the big Reds they were looking for. Sunday we were faced with the wind blowing again. Since catching Reds was what they wanted we headed straight to the marsh. They caught a few Reds and Heads, but it was slow. We moved to the edge of the Sound and got on a good Trout bite. After a while the winds died down a little so we headed out into the Sound to look for those big Trout and the monster Reds. Our first two stops did not produce much. We made the bumpy ride further out to a rig that has been holding the big ones they were looking for, but with flights to catch we did not have much time. Here they caught several big Trout and finally got to fight a big Red and a huge Drum before time ran out. They caught a whole lot of fish over the two days and had a great time.
