First time in Freeport

We met up with bogdog (Clint) if Freeport Saturday morning and hit the water by six fifteen. After a short paddle we reached the first stop, we split up and started looking for some reds. It didn’t take long for the action to get fired up and the reds were exploding all over our top waters. Between the four of us we landed seven reds between eighteen and 30 inches on top waters in an hour, and a couple of small trout. The tide was super high and you could see reds chasing shrimp and mullet way up in the grass, so I put on a (Kicker Fish bait) strawberry white tail shad stick. I rigged it up weed less and sent it into the grass after a red that was chasing some shrimp. When I say way up in the grass I mean about twenty feet in from the waters edge. As soon as the shad stick hit the water that red inhaled it and the fight was on, and then it was over. My twelve pound line was no match for a big red in thick grass, so if anyone sees a red swimming around with a strawberry white tail shad stick bait in his mouth watch out he’s a feisty one. After that we paddled back to the trucks, loaded up, and headed for our next destination.

When we arrived at our next stop we unloaded and started fishing. The fishing was a little slow but we managed four nice reds on top waters. Most of the fish were caught out in the middle of the lake we were fishing, and some were caught out of a school we found that was running bait on the bank. After about two hours the bite was over and we headed home.

Thanks for the trip Clint we had a blast
