Mission Accomplished 7/11/14

Finally got back on the water and had some pretty weather. Took my oldest boy who absolutely loves to be on the water, and who is signed up for the Youth Star tourney. So our mission was to stay in close and pound shorelines to catch a flounder to enter because I have been struggling to catch trout all year. Well wouldn't you know that the first cast he makes a 15" trout is in the boat, so now the pressure is off. We stay at that reef and boat another 5 or 6 trout caught several heads and short trout bout out of our shrimp at this time. So enough trout, he wants to go to the shoreline and redfish and try flounder. Saw a big school of pogies and one throw of the net we had hundreds. (After reading the pogies post last week I wanted to try em). We boated 6 reds 19-25", several rat reds, two more trout one 3.5lbs. Fish are eating everywhere and a big cloud is building and I tell him we gotta go. One more cast daddy, I say ok. Hits the water and he says got a bump, he counts to five and he sets the hook and there's his flounder to finish his slam. Great day to be out there and I am sold on the pogies. All fish were caught in MS water. He is now entered in the youth division for the boat drawing. Maybe his luck will stay with him.
