Pensacola - Saltwater Fishing Report
Great fishing, awesome instruction and awkward comedy at Redfish U!- October 8-9, 2012
Back to a very busy schedule at RU! We're back from a great weekend in Destin for 2012 Fudpuckers volleyball, great friends and fabulous restaurants. Yesterday's RU trip was met by high north winds and quickly falling water so we had to make some clever adjustments and target subtle temperature, water clarity and depth breaks. We found the speckled trout to be no trouble at all but the redfish were another story although we managed a few and took a quality fish for dinner. Threw Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads most of the afternoon and this was the correct bait to draw our bites.
This morning, after some sad antics at the ramp, we travelled way east to find plenty of speckled trout and some redfish to be originally taken for dinner. High pressure made it a little more difficult today but we found a handful to bites in each area which kept the action steady. Thankfully, we were on point by keeping all the redfish alive as our clients needed to leave later in the day. All redfish were released and some trout went to a buddy for a cookout. On a side, today's Redfish University trip started with a fortuitous yet unfortunate encounter. We've seen some early morning comedy at local ramps over the years and I love quality entertainment but this takes the cake. Witnessed by many, a clown was walking around shouting obscenities, incoherent dribble and spreading clown-cheer. Help was offered but regrettably denied. Gladly, our clients were late and were spared a horrific introduction to Pensacola. Funny, unsettling and sad at the same time, it really makes you incredibly thankful for the life you have. We'll be in Destin and Fort Walton Beach tomorrow and Thursday for some instructional regulars and then back at the circus on Friday and Saturday with some beautiful neap tides. Take care, E Holstman
