We headed out today to look for cobia and tarpon, but ended up with a 12 pound overslot redfish.
We had a short window of opportunity, the weathermen said a squall line was going to set up around noon and they were correct, except in came earlier than expected.
We caught some bait out at two flat and hit the 2 post and tripod looking for some cobias, but to no avail.
We headed towards Bald Point to look for bait and as we go near Lighthouse Point the wind was really whipping around the corner and storms were building back at the mouth of the Ochlockonee River.
I saw some pelicans diving on bait about a mile offshore and eased over to see if tarpon were in the mix.
Bait was getting busted in the swells that was forming and I thought they were Jack Crevalle.
I threw my DOA Bait Buster in the mix and the first cast brought this nice red to the boat, much to our surprise.
We had to leave after this photo was taken as the weather was turning quickly. We made a couple of drifts in front of Tradewinds as we watched the storm start to gather momentum
Nancy was shocked as a huge ray jumped out of the water right beside her and flopped beside the boat.
I managed a big sail cat, the rains came, and we headed in to be greeted by pitch black skies and heavy lightning and rain as I finished cleaning the boat.
