Chaires Creek Whackfest
12.20.11
Tide: Outgoing
Well Hunter is home for the Holidays and, as is the case when he arrives, we start catching fish.
We decided on an afternoon trip over to Chaires Creek. After receiving some fishing advice (thanks Taff) we launched at Mashes Sands and eased over to Chaires.
The mouth of the creek was covered with oysterman plying their trade. I learned today they can make a little over $200 a day raking the oysters. A lot of hard work, but pretty good paycheck over a week's time.
We slid past them and started anchoring up around the creek's oyster bars.
It didn't take long until we had a small trout.
We started moving up and down the creek. We hit an oyster bar back in the creek and caught a 4-5 puppy redfish.
After the oysterman started clearing out we eased back towards there oyster bars and the trout and flounder started biting pretty good.
Nancy was on fire with her shrimp draggin'.

Hunter and Nancy doubled up on a flounder and a trout.
We put three nice keeper trout in the box. I was also in on the action throwing a white gulp shrimp on a jig head. I was fishing where ever they would let me cast. We landed well over a dozen trout.
Hunter and Nancy were down to their last shrimp as we were preparing to leave.
They finished with this real nice flounder and trout.
We headed back to the hill with panko fish fry sandwiches waiting for us after the boat clean up and fish cleaning session.
