Nov 17-18 Fishing on the Redneck Riviera...

Because of the Panhandle work trip I had enough hours to take off Thursday and Friday. Thursday we had a Thanksgiving feed at the office and I spent the rest of the day getting ready for some fishing on Friday and Saturday. A couple of trips back I saw some rattling rigs a guide had on his lines. I decided to make a few for myself.

The combo of weights and beads make a clicking sound that is like a shrimp. Locals use the beads also to decorate their swim suits.

Friday came and Todd had to back out so I went out exploring new spots and revisiting some of the old. I went to Packery cuz they had been catching some good kingfish…but by Friday I didn’t see any bait and caught a small ray.

Returning to the concrete platform I caught a few keepers (3 specs and 3 sand trout) although I landed around 30 trout that were too small. The trout were kind of thin for this time of year.

Saturday morning I got another late start but the wind was calm and water was still warm with a very low tide. There was sand exposed that is usually covered in a couple of feet of water.

I couldn’t believe I didn’t try the clicker rigs and decided to give them a try. Everything wanted to eat the shrimp attached to the rig…sand trout, specs, mangrove snapper and of course drum.

I will have my hours in early this week and will go for a meat run on Wednesday morning and again on Saturday. Looks like I will have to get a bigger bucket.

No I haven’t caught them all yet but we are trying…
