I had to get away from the crowds in west bay, so i decided to fish west of SLP.
3/18: I made a long paddle, but it paid off. I found a decent sized school of redfish hanging at the mouth of a gut that emptied onto a point. The fish were hanging in the dirty water of a color change, ambushing baitfish as they ran up and down the gut. I ended up with a limit of reds to 25" and a kicker, 18", flounder. All the fish were caught on a gold spoon fished very slowly.

3/19: I went back to the spot where i found the group of reds the day before, and they were still there. The fish were very picky today and were hitting the spoon like a small, trash fish. If you weren't on your A game and didn't set the hook right when you felt a small tap, you were going to miss the fish. I caught another limit of reds to 24". It was a good way to end the trip.
