Like Hunter Says: That Looks Like A Slaughter

9.27.12

Willie and I went out and hit the oyster bars at the mouth of Ochlockonee River.
They were finally accessible without a gale force wind blowing in from the east.  The fish were very cooperative.

I sent a text message to Hunter to show him the fish and his quote is the title of this posting.


We managed trout, flounder and reds on our first few drifts.  I looked over my shoulder and saw the birds working on the clam bar on a very fast incoming tide.

Willie and I went out and jumped into the frenzy nailing big spanish and one trout out of the school.

I never thought I would hear Willie say it, but he said "Well I think we've got enough spanish."



So we moved on to the inner bars, but the tide was raging and we couldn't hook up on anything again except for this guy.


We headed in to clean the morning catch and grab some lunch.

Our afternoon trip featured a good redfish bite as we fished the outgoing tide.





The fish were a beautiful red.  We figured it was from all of the dark water that was produced by the heavy rains this year.

Blackened redfish is on the menu this upcoming week!
