Deep Winter, Crushing Them!

We are in a deep winter pattern early this year, but the fish are eager to eat.   Double digit days o reds on Fly are very common these days. Will Abbot and Tommy Webster both had rediculous days on fly and plug outfits. I like to keep track of some of my best days guiding and out of my top five Will Abbott has been involved in 3 of those days.  He was there for a 5 tarpon day on fly!(in Georgia)  6 or 7seven bull red day on fly and this day where he caught 10 or 12 reds on fly and 20 plus stripers.  Starting temps were around 22 degrees and warmed to a balmy 39 maybe?  Seems as though the reds the last week have been really stacking p on the flats, some schools yesterday may have been up to 300 fish strong and for the most part in one spot!  What a sight!!!  The striper bite is good, and may be one of the better seasons for the past few years. Some of the fish we were catching had large numbers of shrimp hanging out out of their moths and gills, and were still wanting more to eat.  These fish were fat and healthy looking.

Big time winter fun!!

What a week it’s been.  From stripers to schools of  reds 200 yards long, it’s been F$%&ing fun.  Looks as though the stripers are here for the winter and this is some kinda great news.  Windy days on the flats can be spent chasing stripers on the river where the wind is not such a concern.  We have been on a school of fish this week that”no Bullshit” is 200yards long!!  With  the hard west winds and negative tides made for more fish pooling up in the area.  Yesterday the reds were cruising up and down the flat busting the heck out of the mullet and shrimp.  Nice to see this time of year.  Anytime of the year!!   On another note, I have been using some Hardy Gear for the past year or so and I must say, Thumbs up!!  Rods and reels seem to handle everyday use in the boat, getting beat up and punished by customers and myself. (I’ve never been one to baby my rods).  So if ya have a chance give’m a look
