Well, the fishing continues to be outstanding here at Redfish University. This morning's clients administered an absolute beatdown on the large speckled trout and redfish. Started with topwaters early to produce several speckled trout in the 3-5# range with some really nice 25-27″ redfish in the mix. We continued to toss Sebile Bongas until around 730am and just smashed both species on shallow flats. We didn't need to measure any fish this morning for the cooler as nearly every speckled trout was over 20″ with several 23-25″ specks and one 7#, 31″ monster that enhaled a Berkley Gulp! Jerkshad on a shallow bank. The redfish were also extremely cooperative this morning with some great fish in the 24-30″ range on both topwater and Gulp! Found a few 25# jacks on the flats that unfortunately pounded our topwaters resulting in a 20 minute fight. A waste of time, but fun nonetheless. Our anglers took home an appropriate amount of fish for tonight's fish fry and grilled redfish. We encourage, but do not require, Redfish University anglers to release all big speckled trout and upper slot redfish so many quality fish were release including 5 or 6 trout in the 4-5# range, the big monster 7# trout and some upper slot(26-27″) redfish. Packed until London departure next Wednesday and full for the rest of August. Five days(on purpose) off in 35 days and no relief in sight. Can't complain!! Thanks Redfish University anglers!
