Been fishing Savannah this past month we have had the best weather I can remember.  Consistently sunny with light winds and happy fish.  Reds are doing there thing as always,  but the albies are the shit right  now.  Been chasing them around solo, and that in itself is a workout.  The schools have been staying up for 30 seconds or so.  Run and Gun,  these lil guys are moving so fast !!  You see them run like hell to them  throw the throttle in neutral and run to the bow of the boat and cast.  Try that a dozen times by yourself and you are sweat’n !!! Most are in the 4-6 lbs range but I have had a couple in the 8lbs range. What these guys lack in size they make up for in pure drag screaming speed !!  Tried to get some video yesterday and the Go Pro Batteries died.  Try again today.

The Redbone was in St. Simons last weekend and William Collier showed his stuff winning the fly fishing division with yours truly and help from his dad.  Day one had us with plenty of fish tailing in the grass, but as you may know tailerrs aren’t the easiest critters to fool.  All their attention is down, looking for crabs and putting a fly there can sometimes be a hassle.  William ended up fooling only one on day one, so we had our backs against the wall day two.  Day two ended up with not enough water in the grass for tailers due to a hard west wind, major bummer.  We put all our eggs in one basket and waited for the outgoing tide at a certain spot.  We could only fish till 3p and the tide didn’t get right for the reds until about 2p.  From 2p to 3p  William showed what he was made of by nailing 10 reds on the fly in a hour !!!!!  Holy $%#*.  Here is a little video of William hitting some Jacks that were going nutz on the beach front.  We played with these guys till the tide was right for chasing reds on the low water.  What fun fishing !!
