Thursday afteroon-er 9/27

One inch longer and this redfish in the first picture would have been a legal keeper and ended up in the pan instead of released back into the Bay- I caught a half dozen just like this one that made for a nice afternoon of UL fishing- 4 lb. test Spyderwire monofiliment on my Quantum Ultra Light spinning reel (pictured in the third "Bill" picture)- using a redfish magic with 1/8 oz flat head jig tipped with 3 inch curly tail Gulp chartreuse...they fight like hell on this setup- feels like landing a much bigger fish- shallow water was where I found them yesterday- 1-3 feet deep in fast moving water- outgoing tide- lots of small stripers, too- I caught bluefish, croaker, striper and redfish- fished two and a half hours and headed home after taking a "Bill" sunset shot on the way back to the launch-

I stepped out from work for lunch on Thursday and the weather was so nice. I was hoping someone was out there catching some good ones. Nice catches... to bad that one wasn't bigger. The "Bill" Sunset shot looks nice.

Weather and the water conditions were super nice- beautiful, picture perfect- I fished alone, but had a really good time- caught a lot of fish that were all fun on the ultra light tackle- the bigger redfish ran the drag a lot- this is the last fishing trip for me until after the general election- big time work travel coming on for me-
