The wind has finally slowed down a bit and I was able to get out with my nephew an put him on this sweet red that was sight fished from a school. I ran out of Fishbites so I had him pitch a RipTide 3″ mullet on a Slayer 3/16 Penetrator hook.
Cheese Cake Mike catches a nice red plucked from a school of about 15 fish.
Today I had one of my regulars, Jim hooked and landed this whopper on his first cast using a live shrimp and a Daiichi D82z 1/0 circle hook
As we were talking about the do’s and don’ts I saw the mother load, we had a school of belly rollers just in casting distance. Now it was time to practice what I preached as far as approaching schools and how to pick them off. I staked us out and had both anglers make good long cast with the wind to our backs and pick off the lead fish.
We had multiple hook ups and did it by not chasing the school around, just letting them get back to their happy zone before being plucked out again.
