It’s that time of the year when numbers are good for sight casting nice schools of fish.   John Kennedy and his son John headed out with me and what a good time on the water we had.   As we began our day we poled all over the flat not finding a single fish.  The longer this went on the more I began to stress.  Due to this flats remote location I had no fall back in case I couldn’t find them.  Well after an hour of looking we hit major pay dirt.  John’s son had never caught a red before and, he managed to nail four on the spinning rod and larger size John nailed four on the Buggy Whip.  Then We put large size John on the pole and I had the chance to catch a couple of reds.10 fish sight casted to, not a bad day.  We have had some neat fishing at low water lately,  I have seen some nice fish belly crawling,With their backs out!  Not often do I see the pattern in  Dec. Jan.  and some nice tailing action on the low water as well.  I guess with the moderate temps the bait is shallow hence the pattern. The evening turned out to be awesome and we had a beautiful run back to Savannah with a incredible sunset to cap off the day.  The trout bite continues to be strong with non stop action going on.  If at first you don’t find them bounce around a bit.  If you don’t get bites soon, move. Trout will smack something if they are there.

With the year coming to an end the trout bite has continued to be really good.  Some days it take a bit to find them other days everywhere you try has good fish.  Trout move so much at times you really need to stay on top of them.  As far as the reds go, we have not had the best conditions , somedays have been windy and sunny others no wind and clouds, and some other day cloudy and windy !   With the first tru winter cold fronts beginning to swing through the area, the trout bite may slow a bit depending on water temps and duration of the cold.  The reds should continue to fish well, just need to pick your day.  I had to post the pic of the bull red again,  due to it’s size.    What a slob !
