GREAT DAY FISHING







Another great day in the windy marsh of Hopedale turned out great for Lisa Davis and kids Andrew ,Justin, and Danielle. Things started of quick with drum and 2 reds then got slow for awhile. Off the new area with cleaner water and fish started coming in the boat slow but steady. It was going to be build a box day a few fish at a time. Mom was really putting on show for the kids catching most of the redfish and some nice flounder, But Danielle , Justin, and Andrew had their rods bent over as well. Nice family outing. Around 1 o ‘clock we called it a day with the box full of nice reds, trout, drum ,and flounder another HOPEDALE GRAND SLAM! All fish caught with dead shrimp or live minnows under a cork.
18 Redfish

WINDY GRAND SLAM!





Knew it was going to be tough day with 20 to 25 mph West wind and Low tide, But Alan, Justin, and Jason had planned this trip months ago and came from Georgia to fish so we were going to fish and do our best. Things started out good first area 2 reds in the boat. Several stops and few hours later we only had 3 reds and a flounder. Wind was howling and dirty water everywhere. Told the guy’s we were going to make a big move deeper in the marsh and find some cleaner water. Got some better water couple of spots not a bite then we hit pay dirt. Clean moving water tide falling out of a drain fish on a nice red finally at 11:45. We stayed right in that area only moving the boat down the bank a little and filled out our limit of reds along with few trout ,drum, and 2 flounder, Talk about a down to the wire finish. I have to praise Alan, Justin, and Jason they fished hard and did not com-plain about the conditions and were rewarded with box full of fish. All fish caught with dead shrimp or live minnows under a cork.
