Slower Lower 11-15 report

[ronaultmtd]

Launched at daybreak this morning from St. Jerome’s Creek...figured the forecast for 12-27 mph north wind would be a tough go most anywhere but with the topography of the creek it wouldn’t be too rough...water temp at launch was 47 degrees, but climbed to 50.7 in the inlet...Sunup greeted me with plenty of birds working but top water was a no go...worked three different lures- two poppers and a Bonk-A-Donk- not a single blowup...swapped out to 3/8 oz jighead and pearl/chart bass assassin Sea Shads...hooked up immediately- lost count of fish...much more than a dozen mostly 14-16 inch fish but mixed in were a few keepers- landed a 21 early on and a couple of hours later a 20 1/2...the dredge showed up around 9:30 or so...started scooping up sand and muck- killed the bite almost immediately...iced down the fish and was home before noon...

Kevin- I hear you- used to be me before Retirement...Yak67 was originally going with me but texted me he couldn’t make it...I looked at FishWeather and figured it was the best day of the week weather-wise, so I decided to go ahead- it was a little sloppy today but not too rough...

any signs of trout? And one assumes the redfish have pushed further to the south as the water has cooled?
