Me and my buddy Mitch decided to go in search of tailing redfish this morning with the low tide upcoming. We arrived to are destination to find fish churning the water with anticipation of a early breakfast. A pod of dolphins was also close by with the same thoughts I'm guessing. We jumped out of the kayak to begin wading. On Mitch's first cast with a she pup he hooked a monster that bent out the front treble. Soon after I had hooked the first red of the morning just over 30". We proceeded to go back and fourth hooking fish on every cast for close to an hour. We had several double hook ups that were a little work to keep untangled. At one point I hooked a tarpon that opened a split ring before I even knew what happened. You can see in several of the pictures the spook only has a back treble hook. I had far less misses with just one hook on the lure which was odd but made me curious. It was an awesome way to start the new year! I hope it continues.
Originally I saw a couple smudges on the photos and I thought there was water on the lens. Then I realized you were just trying to blur out the background. Which based on the number and size of the fish I would probably do the same thing.
That said I took the artistic liberty of smudging things out a bit more - I realize that these are your photos, and if you want me to take it down I will, but I figured this would really hide or at minimum mislead where the location was at. Again - let me know if you want it down...I know that on certain photos I wouldn't want it "shopped" in any manner. (i.e. it's taboo to mess with other peoples photos without their consent).
Very nice feeesh guys.
Don't worry about "spots", the fish move around.
Dont know about the spooks DoubleM, but I took the front hook off of some of my topwaters & the action did change, but they still worked. They just settled nose up in the water when the lure was stopped.
