Slot Red @ 3-Mile last night

vspivey · 09-03-2008, 02:26 PM

Decided to try fishing a bit last night. The bite was very slow, but I did manage to catch a 26" slot Red. I was using Pin Fish and finger mullet thatI caught in the Bayou. This is the first slot I have even caught @ 3- Mile! Any recipes for grilling?????:hungry

Filet, leave scale and skin, rub meat with olive oil, shake on the cajun seasoning, grill scales side down. Grill till meat is cooked then just slide the filet off the scales/skin. Redfish on the Half Shell.

Hey thanks guys! Bay Pirate... we normally catch very large Bull Reds out there, 30"-43". I have some other topics with some good pics of some. That's why it was weird for me to catch this little thing, but I'm not complaing, I'm eatin good tonight!

So is it true that the bigger Reds don't taste as good as the medium sized fish do?

82whaler is right on the recipe. Only thing I do different is to get the grill really hot, place flesh side down for 3-4 minutes, then flip over, turn heat down, and close the lid. When almost ready too pull off the grill, spread with melted butter that has some garlic and lemon juice added. MAN!!!!

Tried Navarre area this morning. Fished the drop offs, the shallows, pilons, docks, even the deepest water aroundhere.Managed two junior reds and tha't was it. Cats were thick so were the sting rays Wind picked up, some rain,... called it a day. Used green backs and mullet for bait. Lil skeet good luck and post a report when you get a chance. I d like to try teh TMB tomorrow night if the bulls are back.Vspivey nice red... Im sure you had to wk. hard for that one.
