Went out early this AM and headed to the pass. Fished the flat behind and just west of Bird Island and got skunked. Decided to go after some reds. Hit a back lake I have had some success with but when I got there was surprised at how little water there was. Crept up to the shore and reds were busting all up in the reeds right on the flippin' shore. I mean ON THE SHORE. Easy to see them as they were in water that just a few inches at deepest...had half their backs out of the water facing the shore. I threw everything but the kitchen sink at 'em. Paddle tails, top waters, you name I chucked it at em. Many gave it a look but would ignore it or bust out of there. Hooked one nice red on the pink corky and had another spit it and that was it. I threw at over 25 individual reds within two hours with TWO hook ups! Unreal morning...fish were extremely skittish and extremely disinterested in what I had to offer. That kind of fishing is a blast though and I have seen lockjaw before...happens a few times a year but this was unreal. Wish I had a GULP...about the only thing I didn't try!
Good news is they are thick out there...go get 'me if you can. You'll have done better than me!
