Redfishin Red Hot!!

Lil Skeet · 08-21-2008, 09:47 PM

My new friend Justin (Dr. Red) and my little sis are the only ones sick enough to fish with me. well now they are HOOKED! I love it down here. I burn less than $20 a day on fuel, spend no money on bait, and fight tough fish all night. Don't think I'm going home. Usually spend $200-$300 a day to fish back home. I'm spoiled now. Loved the sheephead, monster specs in the bayou and now bull reds. You guys have the life down here. Never seen a girl throw a castnet till I came down here. Most men that fish for 30 plus years can't throw a net back home. This place is unreel. My sister told me I wouldn't leave even if I hated the heat. She was 100% right. Well here's why I'll just have to deal with the heat.

We have averaged 20-30 per night. The size of them is what I love. So far our biggest is 30lbs 8oz, 26lbs, 23lbs, and 22lbs.Most of fish in 12-20 lbs range. Gotta get lil sis on a 30+ pounder. Funny to watch her wrestle them fish in. My favorite part other than finding them.

What did you catch em on

Lil Skeet · 08-22-2008, 07:41 AM

find bait that is swimming like it is terrified catch it/ net it, use it. Reds don't seem to be picky. most nights when they are feeding I would bet they would eat a piece of leather off my boot. BIG baits live or dead seem to keep sharks,catfish and other trash at bay.

Awesome pics nice reds, looks like you might be out by the pensacola 3 mile bridge, again nice job

Yeah the oversized fish are thick around the 3 mile right now. Wish the slot fish were that easy to come by.
