Oh, Yeah, there is a moral to this story. Just about the time you think you have them figured out, they throw a monkey in the wrench. I now have a new spot that I thought was a non-productive spot.

My outfit consisted of a Pflueger Contender filled with 40 pound test Power Pro with a 30 pound test Cajun Red leader, a 4 ounce egg sinker, a 50 pound test Sea Striker barrel swivel, a Daiichi 5/0 Circle Wide hook and for bait, a fresh clam. I fished this on the bottom, put the rods in rod holders on the boat, sat back and waited for the circle wide to do its job. When the fish picks up the clam and moves off, it feels the hook and runs harder, resulting in the hook buried in the side of it's mouth. TIP. When using circle style hooks, DO NOT rare back and set the hook. Either just turn the handle of leave the rod in the rod holder and let the fish set the hook.

Here are few species that might to go home with you this month.

Speckled Trout and Redfish:
Try a surface lure or one the can be fished just under the surface. MirrOlure has come out with some new stuff since last year. So far I have done well with their new MirrO Minnow. It cast a mile, and looks great in the water. I also like the Sea Striker Trout Killer or the Exude RT Slug rigged with an X-Point 5/0 worm hook. You can fish this weedless in the grass or from the surface to about seven or eight feet down. On these lures I usually get the strike after I have twitched it and it is falling, so be ready to set the hook.

Flounder: A soft plastic like the ones above rigged on a lead head jig and a minnow or shrimp on a jig head work great around the edges or creek mouths.

I had a chance to go to Little River Georgia Plantation for some largemouth fishing last week and wow did we have a great time. Check out this 10 pounder that SLAM DUNKED a spinner bait.

Tommy Langdo and 10 pound LRGP
Tommy Langdo of Concrete Specialist with a nice 10 pounder from Little River Georgia Plantation in Ashburn Ga.

How about this picture of James Roney in the water and Tommy Langdo, laughing so hard he is about to tear up. What is he doing in the water, I thought you were supposed to be fishing from inside of the boat.
