Skunked.
There. I said it. Skunked. Wow, it’s been a while, but the combination of unfavorable tides, poor moon phase, thinning bait, and the incredible water temperature drop all conspired to shock the fish into inactivity. Despite a packed dock, nobody else was catching anything, either. Small consolation.
There was, however, one bright spot- a 39″ redfish caught by a lucky angler on Thanksgiving day.
