A Little Rain Never Hurts!!

Soon as we left the dock heading west Tuesday morning July the 2nd I slowed down and told my client Craig Gladue from Augusta Georgia we should put the rain gear on… You could see the heavy rain about 2 miles away and that was exactly where we were heading start fishing. I have no problem fishing in the rain as long as there is none of that bright cracking stuff mixed in… We made 2 drifts with live shrimp and caught one very small Trout and at that spot if that happens you might as well move on. With only a 4hr trip and the rain coming down I decided to head to the back waters and target the Flounder and Red fish. {%image_id=5360%} The rain ended soon and the Flounder and Reds turned on. We were fishing minnows under small corks in 2 foot of water just above the shell mounds. We caught quite a few Flounder mostly small but plenty big enough to make a good meal. {%image_id=5361%} We also caught several Red fish in the 6lb range. Most of the Reds were caught on crab baits. What started off wet ended up being a beautiful morning and some good fishing? {%image_id=5359%} Thanks for a good time Craig. Capt.
