Fishing Report
A chill was in the air during the last half of the duck split with blinds re-brushed and eager guests inbound for some R&R on the end of a fishing rod. We delivered just that with solid action on Redfish in unsettled weather heading into the big blow on Thursday. I thought perhaps these might be the last "flats fish" for awhile as water temperatures plummeted, but a quick warm up mid-day Saturday and Sunday has changed that thesis. Cast & Blast trips yielded full to near limits of solid Redfish in breezy conditions with temperatures on climbing Saturday afternoon. Delayed departures proved wise with water temperatures hovering just above 50 degrees and lack luster movement on the part of the fish. As things warmed mid-morning all heck broke loose for guests inundated with strong feeding activity over shallow flats and shorelines.
Duck Report
Mostly strong shoots for guests during the opener with a mixed bag of among our 14 different species which can hit the blocks day in and day out. Staging up for Sunday mornings effort got a little complicated fast as fog set in thick on a slick off. That held the photo ops back a bit with a couple of solid shoots and a stinker or two.
