I launched in an area I have never been to before.

The tide was falling fast and I had to move quickly.

There was absolutely no lack of bait anywhere around me.

It was not until the tide almost completely dropped out that I found some fish along an oyster bar.

Although I couldn’t get any fish to eat, I knew this would be the ideal zone to look for as I pushed further into the marsh.

The wind was a major obstacle and it made it very tough to pinpoint my casts where I wanted.

A beautiful redfish came up and slurped the Wake Bait down!

I had been out there for a few hours with nothing to show before that fish.

But waiting for that tide to fall was ultimately the ticket to finding the BIG fish.

I hooked into another solid fish that immediately dragged me back into a bed of oysters.

This is another reason why it is critical to constantly check your leader lines and retie if necessary.

Overall, this was an extremely tough trip and it was a huge grind to find those fish.

But using the clues I picked up along the way, I was able to lock into a trend and find feeding fish.

These redfish were jumping in and out of cut-outs in the oysters picking off bait passing by and also looking for grass shrimp.

When it is insanely windy out there and it’s tough to maintain a connection to your lure, I always lean on the Strike King KVD Wake Bait.

This is my go-to lure for windy days when conditions are tough.

The bill on the front of the lure allows it to sit just below the water line and call fish in.

It triggers an instinctive reaction from predatory fish as it passes by.

If you see baitfish hitting the surface, this is a great option to mimic those behaviors.
