Lowcountry Flats Redfish Trip
During Teacher's Conference I took my family to Charleston SC. My son, Matt, and I enjoyed 6 1/2 hours flats redfish fly fishing. Tough day. Never saw a single cloud & on occasion looked for one. Hit the mid-60's. Stiff breeze. Day before was perfect w/80 degree temperatures. But we caught some up to 6 pounds. Height of the outing came pretty quick when I hooked my first. Besides a little foot long red a caught in FL, this my first, at least 10 pounds. It looked huge when it darted for my Seducer, which this time I placed perfectly. I thought 15. Had it on five minutes before hook pulled.
We had practiced in a soccer field for months w/10 wt and we can say that although practice helps, it won't suffice for being on the water.
