Air temp:  70
Water temp: 75
Wind:  Light, variable
Tide:  High
Technique:  Popping corks, gold spoons, topwater lures

Dwayne and I went out and hit a handful of spots to try and catch some redfish.  At our first stop, I had a blowup.  Dwayne immediately threw a popping cork and put two fish in the boat.  Kept moving along a marshbank, and I had another fish shake a topwater.

We ran to another area, and I caught an undersized red on a topwater.  Then we checked out a spot we haven't fished much this year.  For good reason.  Nothing going on.

So we stopped off at a place where there's been reds in previous Septembers.  I catch a red on topwater exactly where the fish should be.  But my fish seems to be the only one home.  

Our last stop was a marsh where there was a school in the past month.  But the school is gone.  We managed a few scattered fish, and Dwayne hooked a nice trout that spit the hook next to the boat.

It was a fun morning of fishing.
