<SPAN id=_ctl1_ctlTopic_ctlPanelBar_ctlTopicsRepeater__c tl1_lblFullMessage>Hit my 1st spot in the Sound about 6:15am.... water was like glass so I fished a top dog.....caught 3-4 specs, but had about 25 blow-ups, the water was very active, lots of bait and mullet. Water was clear, saw specs all over the place mostlymid teen size.
At the appropriate time, i headed to my spot west of the pass.......water was glassy again, quiet, no boats...real nice.
Fishing was not brisk by any means, but got 2 reds, one right at 27", 7/bs, the other, a23" fatty about 4.5lbs. Both caught on what I call
deadmans' crab, that's a gulp crab on a Cajun Thunder, hanging dead in the water. It looks like the pinfish draw attention to it.
Nothing on live bait or a varity of lures and jigs????
I'm gulity, I kept the 27" fish, becausein a week he would be out of the slot anyway!
Hot day, but nice to catch a stud on the 4th!
27" 7lbs
23" 4.5lbs
