Dropped the little one off at school yesterday morning and headed straight to my hunting grounds. Today I was armed with my Lamiglass G 1311 MH, Van Staal VS100 spooled with Sufix 832 15lb braid in Camo color, 20 inches of 12 lb Fluoro leader and the LC 110 Metallic Sardine tied on the end. Hit the sand right before 8:00am at the peak of low tide. Water looked good until I got close and saw the not so friendly eel grass floating all around. Tried to work the LC anyways but after about 30 minutes I had to take it off. I looked to my left and noticed a decent trough about 50 yards away. It was low tide but this looked good and seemed to have some pretty deep water in areas. Tied on a 3/8oz War Baits jig head and then threaded on a MC 4 inch Swimbait nice and straight. Headed to the structure and started working it. Got bumped right away so that was a good sign. About my 10th cast in I take up the slack in my line, get about two cranks of the handle in and THUMP! I can tell it's the right kind. Some good head shaking going on and this fish was ready was for battle. Made about 4 decent runs and made my drag sing, love that sound. Get the fish close and know its going to be another good butt. Got it to dry land for a pic and measure. This one taped out right above 27 inches. Removed the hook and sent the flattie on it's way back home. ANother successful morning on a 0.37' low tide. A couple pics for ya. Thanks for reading!!
