Finally got to run one of the trips that I had donated to the site today. Henry Riojas, owner of Tejano Salsa and his guest Irma came along for some shallow water sight fishing and the reds had no problem showing us where they were. We pulled up to the 
first spot and there was no doubt that they were there. First 2, then 3 small groups of birds were working over pods of tailing reds. We poled up to the first group and immediately hooked up to a nice fish. We saw somewhere in the range of 10 schools this morning that ranged from 5 to near 30 fish per group. They weren't all cooperative and many were down right spooky. We landed 7 or 8 reds and a flounder. Most of the reds were just under the 20 inch mark but we found 3 for Henry to keep.
The fish slowed down early today, I'm sure due to weak tide mid morning. But we found a few more groups on another flat and had a couple of shots at some bigger reds. We struggled with passing cloud cover when we were around the bigger fish and never really got a good shot at them.
Fun morning and great to see that many tailing fish. Even saw Coe Parker on the water first thing this morning.
