Fishing Pine Island with Vance and Mr. Whittaker

Went out with Vance and Mr. Whittaker the other Sunday and had a great time with Capt. Dave out looking for some low water trout and reds. 

It started out a cool foggy morning and a cool run to start off the morning.  I could feel the concern from the back of the boat as we were running in a few inches of water from Mr. Whittaker but after crossing a few skinny flats he wasn't as concerned as long as the fish were going to be there when we got there.  Well on the first stop at the top of the hole we didn't find much but it wasn't long before Capt. Dave put us on the fish. 



The first double of the day.  Nice solid trout and a nice redfish.



 Of course the fish I would catch would be to long...  Solid redfish to the boat. 



Vance hooked up with his coach in his ear, results in this....


Well by that point Vance had a few reds to the boat and with a couple of trout thrown in by myself and Mr. Whittaker we were already having a good day.  We motored out of there and to the cut that we came into the flat on that Capt. Dave saw some fish on and it wasn't long before Vance was reeling in a few short reds from the skinny.  

We ended up moving around some and not finding many more fish until one of the later stops in a hole that all of thought that Capt. Dave was lying about.  Well as usual he proved us wrong and we nailed some very good redfish again with one overslot and another from Vance to give us the limit in reds.





From there it was back to the dock for a great lunch and great conversation about the day on the water.  I'm already looking forward to getting back out there and chase some Pine Island shallow water fish!
