St. Simons Island Fishing Report 6-25-11

Had a great time fishing with Charles and his two sons Troy and Alex.  Although we had to do a lot of running and gunning, along with sorting through some sharks and rays, we ended up with a very good day.  My hats off to these guys, as we got broke off, cut off and had some pulled hooks on some good fish, these guys kept firing away ended up with a dozen reds, including a couple of unders, a couple overs and 8 good ones for the grease.  Although the flounder bite has tapered off, we did manage to stick a pretty good one.  The highlight of the day was when Charles hooked a fish and developed a wind knot in the spool, which actually severed the line!  Charles held the braided line with the fish on one end while we spliced a double uni to get the line back together.  The fish turned out to be a nice upper slot red that somehow decided to stay put.  Thanks guys, I had a blast and look forward to doing it again soon!
