The best fishing day is in most cases the luck of the draw. We've all heard the "you should have been here yesterday" stories. Today, however, we stood on the dock prior to a trip that seemed doomed by high winds, muddy water and the coldest day of the year so far. On the way out we stopped at a marina to buy shrimp, andthey said we were the only ones out. With that we wondered just how many fish could be caught, and would this trip be a guide's worst nightmare. After a cold boat ride and stopping to test a few spots, our question was answered: all we wanted. Bradley Giles and his buddies from Idaho were putting fish in the boat faster then I could take them off and re-bait their hooks. It went on like that for hours until we ran out of bait. Here are a few photos of the guys with their biggest reds of the day. They kept plenty to eat at Jan's Cajun Restaurant and sent the rest back to fight another day. Thanks guys, we beat the weather and the fish this time, you just never know before you go.
