Wow is all I can say about the other night of tailing red fishing. It may have been the best I have ever seen and I been polling the low country for almost 20 years. That being said then a cold front swings through and the tailing went to poo. Very few fish decided to tail good on Fri. and sat. morning even fewer due to unseasonably cold air and wind. Back to thur. night. It was truly one of those nights where everything came together and the fish were just pouring in from all directions, tailing and busting baits. We nailed our first fish using a crab pattern after that we went to the top water popper stopper I tie and had some of the best eats. Watching reds trying to hit top water in inches of water is nothing short of entertaining !!! It was fast action and I was trying to get more sequence shots of the fish taking the popper stopper. It’s tough to poll and get pics and have your angler positioned for the fish, so some of the shots are not that great. I should have put on my bigger lens and got some greta shots. Easy to look back now and say I should have, but when the fish are all around ya there is no time for changing lens’s and catching fish. I love this stuff when it all come together, but the days it doesn’t it makes ya feel so dejected. One day a hero next a zero.

The tailing tides have continued to provide plenty of fun in the grass. The morning high tides seem to have been a little funky, with cool temps starting out it, the reds just didn’t want to show their tails. The evening tides on the other hand were a whole different ball game ! After hearing how much fun red fishing is from his cousin Dave Wilson was in town and decided to give it a try. What fun we had ! We used spinning rods with a small plastic shrimp and the fish were down, with a pesky wind we managed 3 eats with one fish coming to the boat, one lost along side and the other blew up on the soft plastic and missed it. Cobia are in the Broad , yesterday one was caught on fly. Hopefully the warmer weather and maybe some lighter winds will provide more action with the cobia. Just be ready for some looking time when cobia fishing the Broad. It seems I see one as soon as I start, or I’m on the long term look and once my eyes get tired of looking, one pops up. There are those days though when the fish seem to around and up everywhere.
