10/7 in the grass

With the full moon being last night, this morning's tide was way up into the grass and more than plenty for the reds to move up onto the flats. A front pushed through the area during the evening, bringing strong winds and a drop in temperature. Fortunately, the winds had weakened from about 30+ mph down to 10-15 mph by sunrise this morning. Up at 5:45 and on the road by 6:00, to meet up with Craig Chapman and Mac Barnes from Alabama, visiting Charleston for the weekend. We were on active fish all morning and had some decent action, despite the wind gusts up in the 20 mph range. We could see many of these fish in the water, glowing like neon red torpedoes submerged slightly beneath the water's surface. We managed one good fish to the boat, after the fish followed the fly nearly 15 feet with repeated swipes. Measured out about 27 inches and healthy, and released for another day.Dr. Mac Barnes with a well earned Carolina red
