[Saltwater Fishing]

SEPTEMBER 25th: 15 Fish, Keeper Bass, Blues, and WIND!!!

TODAY: 15 Fish, Keeper Bass, Blues… WIND!!!
On board this morning, I had Keith McDonald and friends for some LT fishing on the bay. At first light, the winds were howling out of the SW and they never let the entire morning. But they stayed steady and did not keep increasing, so we made the best of it and went hunting for bass and blues. First cast of the morning on Brown’s Bank: KEEPAH! A nice bass hit a 4″ rubber crank bait – on 45 pound wire leader! Blues were out and about, so we fished wire leaders the entire morning. We also picked up a few small bass off Long Beach in a foot of water.
Thank God I looked up bay at the right time and saw a big flock of gulls working about 1/2 mile away. The waters were very choppy, but the birds were working and we ran for them. We pulled into a small pod of solid medium blues knocking bait into air and tearing up the water. We rigged everyone out **** top-water hard baits, poppers, and then back to rubber shads. The blues hit poppers and shads about 50/50. The fish screamed off line and ran into the winds and that made for awesome fish fights on the LT. A really cool thing happened: The winds were so strong, they kept blowing us right up onto Captain’s Flat when ever we had a fish on. So, I told my charters to jump off the boat, use the wind and waves to our advantage, and beach the blues on the sand right up to Captain’s flat! This was great fun and once everyone got it down, it was automatic. A few photos of the guys beaching blues are on my site under the Baymen Reports.
We wrapped up the morning **** about fifteen fish total, three of them bass, including a fat keeper, and the rest were solid blues. It was a great morning and a nice turnaround from yesterday. I’ll leave you **** some of my tired and true sayings: “Every Day Is Different, And No Two Tides Are The Same….” and “You Never Know, If You Never Go…”
