This spring has to go down as one of the best for chasing tail in the grass. Â Between the big northeast winds pushing water on the coast causing big tides or just our normal spring tides we have had more time than I can remember in the grass. Â We have another big tide tonight, and as bad as I want to go other priorities call, no fear though Thur. night I’ll be back watching and hopefully catching some reds as the make their way through the marsh. Â Bob Vought and I took a stroll down almost the entire coast checking and looking for new places to fish and boy we found some nice schools of fish. Â As we made our run down the coast you have to stop and say wow ! Â Having so much unspoiled coast is not something you get to see very often. Â The fish above had some nose issues, Â I have caught another red with the same nose some years back. I wonder if there is a mature bull red out there spawning off some of these funky nose fish. I had a Newbie out last night and we found some nice fish working a old school spot that has seen a new group of fish move in. Â We hooked a nice red that allowed us numerous cast before eating the fly. Â We also had another fish we chased all over coastal Georgia before he ate the fly. Â Both fish didn’t make to the boat for the pic. Whatcha gonna do? Â This is not just a fly fishing scene in the marsh, Â fish are taken on spinning equipment as well. Â Small jerk baits on a off set hook works great. Â I wonder why more spin casting folks have not gotten into the tailing gig in the area ?
