  • 10-23 Chocolate Bay - Flying Pancakes and doormats!!

    Hit the 2004 ramp with my buddy this morning @ 7am with a plan to hit up some spots or chase some birds for specks. Drove down the bay to find most of the places i had in mind were already occupied by waders so we set up shop wading some shell/mud by the ICW.. The water was a bit rough and there was no bait around that i can see, so after 10 minutes and a dink speck we decided to move to a place that had produced pretty good flounders for me last year. We trolled up to the spot to busting bait EVERYWHERE, every 5 minutes or so we would see a flounder clear launching out of the water.. there were no mullet jumping today. unless it was a finger mullet fleeing! if a fish flew out the water.. it was a flounder. Caught the whole limit sight casting with a 100% hook set ratio (they were pretty aggressive). After stringing 4 of them and a nice red, about 50 yrds away i saw this massive creature clear out the water by at least a ft and a half.. i started shuffling as fast as i could towards the beast and after 3 casts i felt that pop on my lure. After 10 sec and a hard hookset i land my PB 21.5 inch monster! All caught on gulp new penny and off the water in time for the Texans game... looks like the run has started!!

            Nice , I caught my 1st limit Friday and decided to stay out of Chocolate and go to Christmas this morning instead, big mistake.
            No bait, no birds, the mud was 3x softer than normal and I was sinking to crotch in knee deep water. All I could get was short strikes.
