Ok, sportsfans. I was draggin a Mann Stretch 25 at, about as slow asI could go,, And that's important, cause when I actually CATCH reds I have been going VERY slow. The action on those stretches is , in my opinion, BETTER GOING SLOW. Because the water was so clear I used a green/blue realistic looking lure. Otherwise, I'd use the pink or red/white to attract. I was trolling on the down stream side of the 3Mi. Bridge, parallel to the bridge, outgoing tide. I went real close to the bridge, but ya gotta be careful, cause there's artificial "reefage" down there and occasional boats fishing that one should always be courteous to. The best part 'bout this catch was it was 27 inch exactly, so it came home and made my Teri Lynn very happy. She's a Cajun cook and loves "GROCERIES!" Oh, and Josie Wales, We also got our share of yummy Stone Crabs too!

Took my brother in law out this morning and caught a good mix on cut pogies, pinfish and bull minnows. We got on the white trout and I had to make him stop. A couple of them were the biggest I've seen in a while. The reds were in a couple of feet of water, the others in 15-20.
It was pretty raw but I went out by myself for a couple of hours this afternoon. In spite of the east wind, the reds were hungry. I messed up and put two baits (pinfish) out at one time and hooked a double but managed to land them both. Boxed a black drum to try on the grill along with the red...
Fished the beach between crooked island and Mexico Beach. Caught 6 pomps on fiddlers under floats back behind the boat. 2 were caught on silly Willy type lures. All the whiting were caught in the inlet using silly willies with a bit of fish bite. The reds were caught on bucktail with fish bites...
A buddy and his son met me out there last night in their boat and me and a buddy went in mine trying to catch some bulls... Saw 1 and caught one. Bluefish were crazy last night and lost a few lures to em. The bulls were probably deep but my FF wasn't working so fished blind!!! At least we...
