Sunday Shallow Water Reds

Bay Pirate · 09-07-2008, 06:56 PM

Nothing as great as Eric's and Brant's catch, but my wife wanted another dinner red soI went out for about 3 hrs.

1st line in about 6:25 am, started with top water she-dog, then put in a Cajun Thunder with a finger mullet for a few specs all released.

A couple of top water rat reds, a top water Slot @ 22' and then a gulp jerk bait netted me another 4.5lb 24" red. ThenI had to go, it's NFL sunday!:usaflag

Total 5 reds 4 specs.

2 nice trips in a row. Was this in the Sound as well?

Went to adifferent spot, but let's say Eastof Deer Point and West of Navarre.:doh

The point is, the fish are moving back in, we didn't see these posts a month ago; enjoy it while they're here.....soon they'll be moving up into the North bays and bayous!

Happy fishing.

NICE CATCH!!!!

Your wife doesn't do thefishthing? not to many do!!!!!!!!!!!!or is this boys day out only!!!

Maybe you can take her along for some better pic....we have seen your pool shots...how about some action shots on location!!!...I personally don't use a net so I grab the camera instead...I practice good hook set..this gives the fish a 50/50 chance to get away!!!!

STILL NO BONES!!!!

On a very rare occassionI take my wife, it's not her thing. I did take her with meMemorial Day the year after Ivan,and she witnessed me land over 25 slot reds all by myself, right here in the sound.I wasn't doing the camera thing then, butI sure was wore out,:hotsun.....it was non stop for about 3 hours in one spot! She said she would have never believed it if she hadn't been there.

All of my fish have bones in them, soI guess you could call them bonefish, right?

PS: Sorry about the 2ndpool shot, best I could do, I had to hustle home to catch the NFL games!I hung out fishinglater than I should have,trying to catch a decent sizeDinner Red!
