Fishing for a Grade

Last week while speaking at the Summerville Saltwater Anglers meeting, I was introduced to Grant Allison.  Turns out Grant was working on a school project that required him to catch a Trout, Flounder and Redfish.  The project was due this week and Grant needed a little help catching the fish.  So I invited him to fish with me on Monday.  It was blowing 20 knots when we launched the skiff.  Rather than fight the elements, we tucked into a small creek and began casting Z-Man StreakZ 3.75 lures on 3/16th ounce Trout Eye finesse jigs.  The bite was slow but Grant managed to release a few Trout and a Flounder.  However, the Redfish eluded us.  As the sun set, the wind finally let up.  With just a few minutes of daylight left, we moved to a wind sheltered shallow area and immediately spotted a school of Redfish.  It took a little doing but Grant finally got a Redfish to eat his StreakZ.  Using the last rays of sunlight, we took a quick picture and released the fish.

Grant is an excellent student.  Based upon our trip, he is an even better angler.

  3. Awesome blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Cheers!
