Centipede Bay - Sneak Attack

I had more work than I care to have for today. But I managed to sneak out for a few hours with out anyone knowing...

I fished a small creek about the size of my yard. When I first arrived I saw a few redfish back in the mangroves. Typically they do not like to come out and eat in this creek, so it's more of a bait and wait fishing. I have tried to toss bait to them but they simple move away. It did not take long before one redfish moved out of the mangroves and into the creek, passing up the first bait and took the second bait that was near the edge of the mangroves. The fish in the picture was about 10 feet from my boat just swimming around. I saw 2 more singles then one group of 5, all in the 24-30 inch range.

I checked for whitebait in the HB channel but did not see any, so I did not want to waste time chasing whitebait and decided to go with the ol standby, mud minnows. You can find them around most islands in Centipede bay and back in the creeks.


Over all a good day fishing and not too bad in the market, the weather was very nice and the winds have finally slowed. I keep threatening to build a windmill, that's one way to get the wind to stop...LOL

Good Luck
