Chris & Jacob Kenny get Topwater Heat!


It was hot today, 110 degree heat index and on the water was the only place to escape it that wasn't indoors. I was glad to have the father son combo of Chris Kenny and son Jacob for some great 11th hour topwater redfishing this morning.


Chris is no stranger to fishing and I knew right off the start we were going to have fun chasing drum today. The ocean breeze we had stayed just under 12 kts making for tough visibility to sight fish and I really wanted to get Chris a shot at some fish on fly. The weather would't allow for it and he gladly put in some time this morning on topwater to get the ball rolling. Early in the day the bite was slow even though we were on some schooling fish, I would have thought the fish would be more active in the cool morning temps but that simply was not the case.


On our last fishing spot Chris managed 6 amazing topwater bites and two strong redfish landed at the boat. I sure was glad it happened for him since he drove from Holden Beach just to fish with me today.


Thanks Chris for a special day with you and "Jake" I look forward to seeing you both back in the near future. Good luck with your duck season this winter!
