Saturday Inshore....

Brad King · 10-06-2008, 12:42 PM

Alan, Dawna and myself fished the Sound Saturday. We were greeted by a light North wind and an outgoing tide, and a whole bunch of hungry fish. We had two slams by 8:30 am.

First stop of the morning produced two Slot reds and one rat red. A few Flounder and smallish specs. We moved around quite a bit during the day. Trying out some new areas. Found Two more Reds later in the day, and really strong Trout bite. Spent the last part of the day Drifting the EPA throwing Mirrolure-Mirrodines for what ever would hit them.

We had a great time. Total Catch: 5 Redfish, 20 Trout, 2 Flounder,4 Black Snapper, 1 Gag Grouper and a whole host of trash fish

Nice catch, those damn puffer fish are chewing up my gulps, they're costing me about $10 each trip!!

Brad King · 10-06-2008, 01:06 PM

Yeah me too. I think i caught 6 or 8 on a Mirrodine.

nice report brad and fantastic pics! i have been meaning to give the epa a try. any suggestions?

Brad King · 10-06-2008, 02:15 PM

The EPA is awesome. We catch something good everytime we hit it. Early in the morning I like to fish close to the Docks and peirs and work the edges of the large sand flats. Later in the day I will usually drift out a little further. 3'-7' of water. We have had luck with about everything in the tackle box. Hard to throw Gulp's there though. Tons of bait stealers.

This past stop there I threw a Mirrolure-Mirrodine 17mr in Black/Silver. I hooked up with something almost every cast. We have caught really nice Flounder there and some 20"-23" Trout there this year. No reds there yet though.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys,

I usually fish offshore, but with gas and overall costs going up, I have been doing a bunch more inshore fishing. Where is the "EPA?" Any help would be great. Thanks

Chris

Jus west of the Bob Sikes Bridge, toll booths.

chasintales · 10-06-2008, 06:20 PM

Thanks. I have been fishing the north shore there in the morning. I guess I was just on the wrong side of the ICW.

Great report, sounds like the fish kept you busy all day.
