Porpoises are working in the shallow grass flats, so shallow that dorsal fins remain exposed as they swim. It s a sight. The commotion they make can be seen a half mile away when they re busting mullet up against the shallows. The manatees are back. Sight casting has been good.
Reds are in a feeding mode and some are working tight to the shoreline aggressively.
Most of the Reds have been between 4 and 10 lbs. We ve had a lot Redfish moments but an 11 pounder caught by Sandie Burger of McCaysville, Georgia stands out. She sight casted to the Red in 9 inches of water. When that fish took off on it s first run, it laid over a bit and we watched it rip 75 yards of line straight out, reflecting its coppery scales in the mid morning sun. If your a fly fisher stretch your line.
