We trolled east out of Perdido Pass about 9am this morning. We pulled Mann's 30+ stretch lure, a Rapala mag lure about 6" long, and a pink Duster. We were hoping for a Redfish, but we didn't get a hit in 2 1/2 hours. It was pretty rough (maybe 3-5'), so we struggled back to the pass and back in. It seems like my luck has been bad ,weather wise ,for a while. We did have a good roller coaster ride.
The Red bite off the beach slowed a good bit back in early January. The best bite was in late October and November but did last throughout December pretty well.
At least you weren't just sitting on the couch right?
We went again today (Saturday) for a few hours and the water was calm, and we saw lot of bait in front of the 4 Seasons pier, with birds diving. No hits, no fish, but a much better ride on the calm water. At least I got out in the boat.
