September 5th 2006 Overcast and waters smooth
As we pulled way from the dock we looked to the east. The skies were still dark but you could see red in the back ground as the sun was surely rising. We run to the west and found a small grassbed that was holding plenty of BIG bluefish.
The sky was becoming more lighted and the water was smooth as glass. Chris quickly hooked up with a nice bluefish using a chug bug worked aggressively on the top.
I have had the pleasure of fishing with Chris before and I will say he is a true fisherman. It does not matter what the fish is as long as it will make his drag scream as did this bluefish.
Mike who I have fished with and a new angler Chris both working their chug bugs as the bluefish explode on every twitch of the rod.
I do not think Chris has done alot of fishing before this trip but here is his first of the day.
Mike showing off one of his fish caught this day.
The blues became less interested with our plugs as the sun moved higher in the sky and the clouds moved further into the gulf. We decided to move to the east to find a couple of keeper specks for dinner.
After catching several specks I perched myself close to Chris when this huge explosion erupted 50 feet from the boat. I yelled out “redfish on redfish on!”
It was a huge redfish and the drag was screaming. This by far was the biggest fish Chris had ever fought and was very excited and wanted this fish in the boat.
A few minutes later and excellent fighting skills from Chris and this beauty was aboard for pictures.
What a great way to end another fishing adventure! Plenty of fish caught and lots of good times and memories.
Until our next fishing adventure….tight lines!
God Bless
