Left out of Nichols boat ramp around 5:45 looking for a good topwater bite.The first spot I stopped at had a bunch of mullet and a 5' gator swimming aronnd but I was only able to hook up with 1 under slot red and a few small specks.Once the sun got up I switched to a mirrodine 17MR and started catching a bunch of small specks with a few keepers mixed in but must were 10''-14''.I moved to a big flat and caught a few more small specks and a 26'' red.Kept dritfing south and caught a few more keeper specks and a 19'' red.Moved spots again and saw some birds diving on some bait so I stopped and casted into it a few times and only caught a small speck,some baby jacks and skipjacks. I started drifting an area I normally catch flounder at.I started using a Z-man jerkshad and with in a few minutes I was hooked up on a door mat.Got it all the way to the boat,picked up the net and the hook pulled loose.It looked to be around 18'' or so.Fished down the bank a little futher and the jerkshad got crushed,I knew right away this wasn't a flounder.After fighting it for a few minutes I saw it was a good size redfish with another one swimming with it.Once it got closer to the boat the other one swam off and I landed the one I had on.Drifted down the bank a little more and caught a 14'' flounder and a few casts later caught another flounder measureing 13''.Then before I left,I caught the redfish with all the spots and the biggest speck of the day that was 19''.Final tally 5 reds 15''-26'' 3 in the slot,20+ specks only about 8 keepers though and 2 flounder.
