Tatum (My wonderful wife) and I headed down to Tabbs bay today for her first trip in her new (My old) Hobie Outback. We arrived at our launch spot a little early so we decided to hang out in the truck for a while and talk some fishing. When the sky started to lighten up we made our way to the water and started fishing. Tatum rigged up a Gulp shrimp on a popping cork and made her first cast. With a few pops of the cork it was gone and she was bowedup. After a quick battle we discovered a big slimy gafftop on the other end and of course I was nominated to remove it. While scoping out the area a large amount of nervous bait caught our attention, so we went to investigate. We approached the grassy shore line the as sun started peaking over the trees and we witnessed numerous flounder coming completely out of the water chasing mullet. While watching the flounder go crazy a shrimp fly’s up in the air next to me. As the shrimp was falling towards the water I looked down and there was a little Redfish waiting for the shrimp to land. When the shrimp got close to the waters surface the Redfish came out like a rocket and the shrimp was gone. After a few casts with a super spook it was smashed and I bowedup with a fat twenty inch Redfish.
Tatum started throwing a Gulp shrimp on a ¼ ounce jig head and it didn’t take long until she was catching reds. As the morning went on we caught some more Redfish, Flounder, and Tatum was killing the Sand Trout.
Today was a great day to be on the water; even thou Tatum caught more fish than me. All fish were caught in one to four feet of water over mud and shell.
