I like some of the Energizer head lamps. They put out plenty of light, aren’t that big or heavy, and they’re like $15/$20.

Pretty realistic scenario this time of year that we all deal with at times

NICE……. What were you throwing?

My preference is shorter rods. Pretty much everything I use now is 6’2 and one 6’4. I mostly wade, but I’ve used them quite a bit out of the boat for redfish tournaments and prefishing. I don’t feel like I’ve lost any casting distance compared to a 6’6.

I’ve fished there a couple of times in the spring. We threw mostly plastics….. Balltails and Paddletails. And various topwater sand had good results. I tend to stick natural colors and some darker colors like plum/chart. If you’re fishing out of the boat I’d probably stick 1/8oz and/or 1/4 jigheads.

Great illustration

It’s been tough for a few days. If you’re close to the channel the best bite has been around the tide change. Hasn’t been a great bite anywhere in Chocolate lately, but probably slightly better the further away you get from the channel. The current has been really strong with the tides we’ve had, but it’s they’re weakening daily so bite should get more consistent

Nice one 👍

Nice job 👍
