After I finished my exam yesterday(Tues.) afternoon, I was driving down Scenic and just had to throw a line for a few minutes.  I stopped at a little place I know(for reference between Creighton and Olive) and grabbed the rod I have in my truck.  The tide seemed to be moving over the point, and I saw some baitfish...good signs.  I was using a Cajun Thunder with a DOA suspended beneath about 16 inches.  I was casting across the point and letting the tide do all the work.  I'd give the rig an occasional pop, as it washed across the point.  After a few casts I landed a fat little speck around 15-16" and let him go.  Another couple of casts and I landed a better speck 18-19".  I decided that I wanted to keep this one.  No stringer so, off with my shoelace.  Impromptu stringer-Gotta love it!  Anyway just before I had to leave, I got another strike, and it turned out to be a fat little redfish.  He was between 18-19" also.  I was only feeding me so the red went back too.  Right about the time my toes got pretty cold(I was wading just a little bit), I had to leave anyway.  Not a bad 35 minutes if I do say so myself.  Tight Lines.
