Just got back from an awesome fishing trip to the banks. We had some great weather and the fish were very cooperative. In attendance, dinscore, Brandon J, nitefly, and myself. We targeted redfish primarily and were rewarded with some drag screaming fun. Fish tended to be in the upper end of the slot size from 24-30 inches. My daily totals were 8 on day one, then 6, on day 3 only 1 (blowout windy day) and 6 on day four. Most of our Redfish were caught on the flats in the oregon inlet region. The bite tended to be best around either end of the low tide. At times we encountered fish schooled up in huge masses that were upwards of 50 or more fish. It was hard to stay on these school and remarkable how they would just vanish even in 1-2 foot of water. Other times we picked off individual tailing fish, or small clusters. The key was looking for slight disturbances in the water, tailing, swirls, or baitfish fleeing. Once you found the fish all you had to do was get your lure in the zone and hold on! I think our most popular bait of the trip was the Z man paddle tails as they held up incredibly well against the abuse a red can give. Otherwise the reds did give everyone's gear a good shakedown and at times they did find the weak points such as knots, leaders, hooks and even line guides. Another unforgettable trip. Thanks to everyone for making it happen!
