- Dang it’s cold
Will, Brent Watts and myself decided to chase some chilly weather reds and were not disappointed. Every Time I get the chance to fish with Will I always know a good times are going to be had. We decided to head out to Wassaw sound and see how many reds made t through the fall onslaught. First couple of places didn’t show much but we did manage to find a nice school of res in clear water that were excited to see us. Havn’t heard much on the stripers, I will go as soon as the tides come back down. With high water and plenty of fresh water coming down river the clarity has not been to good. Hopefully these conditions will subside and provide us with some good striper action. Still getting more reports of dead trout from the cold, 2 winters in a row now. With the trout declining this will only put more pressure on our reds. Food for tought. With the trout, yellowtail and pinfish dying off in the cold there are not a s many predators on juvenile reds. This is what may have made a the increase in the reds we saw last fall. Now what do we do if we start having mild winters again and the predators are back in full swing? will this show a decrease in reds?
