[Capt. Travis Miller]

I've been spending more time in the blind the last week or so than on the water. Today I got out for a solo trip on the Bluewave after Capt. Josh and I built our fish cleaning station for the new dock. I left out of the Reel Inn around 1:30. I made a total of two stops. The first stop I found the reds stacked up on a shelf near some deeper water. Water temp was 56 so the reds are hanging near that deep water right now ready for another cold front. With the low water levels it's like taking candy from a baby. If took me about 30 minutes to put 5 keepers in the K2 and 4 throwbacks. The reds were eating up my Blazin Hornet Vortex Shad with slow steady retrieval. I decided to head a little north to see if I could find some trout to play. I started off in about 6ft of water and a falling tide. Chunking my Blazin Hornet I hooked one but then it was a bunch of short strikes. I switched to a little smaller bait, a bunker tsunami and that was the ticket. I had to call it a day with 5 reds and 16 trout because I had to meet Pete with Hi and Dry Boat Lifts at 4:30. He's doing an excellent job installing our new lifts in case anyone needs a lift guy.
