Dance Reef Report

Hi Guys!!!

Just a short report. I arrived early yesterday morning @ The "REEFS" .

About 4 boats in the general area. Drifted and changed 2 rods to lighter jigheads. One with Topwater.

Trolled back up to the reef and started casting a light colored swim-bait.

Good tide movement. 15 minutes later . A light thump. Trout one got off.

3 casts after that; a hard thump. First trout with "A HOL LOTTA SHAKING GOING ON".

Next 20 minutes boat 4 nice specks. The a few small 14" males.

Started trolling around the reef as a few of the boats left and I had a good portion of the reef to myself.

I'd pickup one here and one there. Ended the day about 10:30 AM with about 13-15 trout. 8 over 18"- 23".

Ran to the east and made one stop which resulted in one 24" red and 2 lost nice trout.

Water was BEAUTIFUULLLL on the reef. NO fish on TW. About 3 blowups only.

Left to run by recreational crab traps on the way back to the landing.

Picked up some nice crabs to boil tomorrow night.

Thanks

Biggun

PPSSS. When I got the landing, I had 4 missed calls. A friends son was fishing the surf @ holly beach and SMOKINGGG THE TROUT.
