Had the pleasure of meeting new friends from Pennsylvania, black drum on the menu. Flagler is still dealing with dirty water from the effects of Ian and really high tides but, the black drum have showed up. The catch all day consisted of these and small reds a sheephead some snapper and a mixed bag of other fish. No big drum but plenty between 14 and 16 inches. The fellas put the breaks on the take when enough was caught for dinner. As fall rolls along the bite will only get better and the sheepshead should start going off any time.

Today not as hot of a bite as desired but still managed some fish and good times had by all!

Spent a morning scouting for new "holes" Saturday 1/16/21 in the creeks off the river. It was very windy and cold making early fishing tough on the outgoing tide. As the day warmed up and the water got lower had success finding 3 more spots that all produced either trout or redfish. Nothing huge but, the reds were all 16 to 20 inches and some small trout. I tried some new baits as well but, the old faithfuls were what worked. DOA paddle tails with 1/8th jig head or the same jig with a shrimp. Used a #2 wide gap hook with a split shot about a foot up with live shrimp too and that has always worked well.
