That coined the term "Smash and Grab" here years ago as we'd slip into the big wind shifts and load the boat. Solid Redfish from mid-slot on up and an emerging presence of mixing schools of Black Drum have made for lots of smiles and memories of a lifetime.
Strong wind shifts from the North send Redfish and Black Drum on an absolute feeding frenzy and that's where we'll intercept them and go deep into the numbers. Windward shorelines are a go to many times but in winds pushing over 20 knots, not so much. Water color changes become the target and sometimes finding them can be a challenge if everything is shredded.
Schooling Black Drum are starting to mix with Redfish as they head for the spawning grounds of the far back reaches. Tides will push them around and send them probing the shallowest of locales, scurrying to the safer depths of the deeper back lakes on tide fallouts and temperature shifts.
Construction progress has hit a feverish pitch of late as we've gained some major traction heading toward completion. Interior framing is pretty much a wrap and we've got windows and doors being installed at present along with other trades roughing-in.
