THIS TRIP WAS ONE OF THE LAST GOOD TRIPS I HAD WITH THE 5 RED LIMIT IN THE EAST COVE UNIT. PEOPLE ASK ME ,"DON'T YOU HAVE A TROLL MOTOR"? I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED ONE. I TRAVEL AS LIGHT AS I CAN. I NEVER KNOW WHEN I AM GOING TO HAVE TO LIFT THAT MOTOR AND POLE INTO THE FISH ZONE. IT DOESN'T HELP WHEN THE FLATS I FISH ARE SLOWLY BEING IMPOUNDED WITH 6' LEVYS AND FILLED TO THE TOP WITH SILT FROM THE SHIP CHANNEL AND BIG LAKE. THE WATER I AM FISHING IN THIS VIDEO , SOME 450 ACRES ARE BEING FILLED WITH MUD TO BECOME DRY LAND AS WE SPEAK. DOES IT BOTHER ME? NO! THEY HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO. THERE IS THOUSANDS OF ACRES UNTOUCHED. I WILL FIND A PLACE TO THROW A BAIT. ON THIS DAY I HAD A BALL WITH THE SCHOOLING REDS. THEY WERE DOING THE DEAL. WHEN THEY LAYED DOWN, THE SHRIMP EATERS TOOK OVER. IN ALL IT WAS A GREAT TRIP. NOW THE 4 FISH LIMIT MAKES IT A NEW GAME. STILL FUN. I AM GLAD I ENDED ON A HIGH NOTE. NOW ON TO THE FUTURE. IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. WISH EVERYONE THE BEST. HAVE A GOOD SEASON ON THE WATER AND BE SAFE!
