Brackish Backwater Beatdown – “Triple B”
**Fishing Report – Wading Artificial Prime Time**
Capt. Trey Ross reported fast action wade fishing artificial’s this morning with his pops as we get a little break here around Thanksgiving. Our guides working the flats have been taking solid Redfish limits on boat fishing trips with the action heating up closer to noon. Airboat trips also taking names with some bruising fish bending the boards.
**Duck Hunting**
Capt. James Cunningham and Capt. Braden Proctor hitting them hard the last couple of days taking limits of Gadwall, Pintail, and a few Teal and Shoves. Weather has flattened out on the mild side and that’s had it’s challenges. We should be looking at stable and mild through the close unless a surprise cold front lurches into the area. As of now, not much to crow about weather wise out into December. We’ve got dates available from 12/2 through the 13th for fishing.
