Thankful to catch any species of any size

Over that past few weeks, I have been catching more large (20+ inch) Trout than usual. So this weekend, I invited my brother (Dave) and Kyler Gartner (who works at The Charleston Angler) to try and catch a few big ones. Since we were targeting Trout, we started just as the tide began to fall. For the next couple of hours, we moved from creek drain to creek drain looking for a gator-size Trout. We were unsuccessful. However, we did catch a bunch of smaller ones, most of which fell for a Z-Man MinnowZ Houdini on a quarter ounce jig.

Halfway into the falling tide, we decided to switch patterns and begin looking for big Trout near deep water docks. The bite was on fire. Unfortunately, all of the bites were from Redfish. About then, Kyler observed, “I can’t believe you are disappointed about catching so many fish.”  We all had a good laugh then set out to enjoy catching fish, any fish. Thankfully, we eventually found a dock that had a few larger Trout on it. They were not gators but were fun to catch anyway.

The water temperature is now below 70 degrees and the water is finally clear. This is a great time to catch fish. Thanks to Kyler for reminding me to enjoy every fish (regardless of species or size).
