August brought some of the first daytime flood tides for tailing red fish. The tides came in, I went to my special spot, and my anglers had shots at 30+ fish on the right tides. At times we had trouble deciding which fish to cast to. Casts for tailing red fish are not long. Forty feet is a long cast. But they have to be accurate. You can’t put the fly five feet away from the fish and expect him to see it. If you can put it a foot in front and a foot beyond these big, tailing red fish, they will eat and your drag will scream!!!!
Clay managed to fool this nice tailing red fish

I got a chance to go fishing!!!
We need tides of 8 feet or better to flood the grass flats. We have predicted tailing tides for the last of September and the first of October. If a Nor’easter blows by, the flats can flood on almost any high tide. Call me to check on conditions and to see if I have any availability.
Trout bite has been good too. Not much time now. More pictures.
