One of my favorites things in life, sight casting to tailing reds

  1. This is from a few years back in early October poling some flooded Spartina grass at high tide near Sappelo Island, Georgia.

    My brother and I ended up catching ~25 reds in 4 hours or so on a cold and rainy day. This was by far the biggest fish we caught as 32″ and a little over 12 pounds. We rarely see reds this large tailing that late in the season as it seems most of the bulls move deeper by then.

    We ended up chasing Tarpon the following day between St. Catherines and Sappelo on spinning gear throwing DOA baitbusters and landed 12 Tarpon between 30 and 60 pounds. We jumped ~30 Tarpon. I ended up catching my PB redfish while doing this at a little over 30lbs. My family has a house near Boca Grande so we were not expecting to have our best day of Tarpon fishing so far from the capital of Tarpon.
