After about a 7 month or so hiatus from fishing I got down to Baffin this past weekend to visit my old pal Aubrey and his wife Sally. My buddy Joe wanted to take his step-kid Colby to the coast for his birthday .... he turned 16 and hadn't fished saltwater before. Friday night at the Blacks' I served up some of my seafood gumbo which everyone seemed to enjoy.

Saturday morning we found calm waters and few boats out. My first trout was a nice 20 incher, caught on a red/white cocohoe minnow. I got a couple more trout that didn't measure, however Joe got a keeper. The cap' decided to move on to more productive grounds after only a few more small trout were caught.

Took a little boat ride further south to some skinny water where we all saw redfish tails up in the air and sometimes saw topfins cutting through the top. My first wade out from the boat got me hooked up to a healthy 23 inch red. Aubrey and Sally took Colby out on the other side of the boat to show him some "ropes". It wasn't long before Colby sight-casted to his first saltwater fish...a nice 20 inch black drum which he caught on a plastic lure! He followed that one up with another good eatin sized drum during the early afternoon.

At some point Joe got a keeper red, and I got another keeper red while drifting past potholes. The fish were THERE! Aubrey and Sally closed out a limit of reds each, prolly due to their super hi-fi sunglasses Smile

A few more black drum were sight-casted-to and caught, giving a fantastic end to a great day. Evening time gave way to grilling thick ribeyes on Aubrey's back porch...we chowed down on that along with super-sweet corn on the cob, baked taters, and some homegrown tomatoes ala salad Italiano (my own title for it ).

We had a fantastic time down in Baffin! Thanks again to Capt Aubrey and Sally for making my friends feel at home. I grilled up some red and black drum last night on the halfshell. It.......was......DELICIOUS!!! You can't get that kind of fresh fish in San Antonio unless you catch it yourself.
