Well my camera ran out of juice on me yesterday so I have no pics of the fish, but Yankee and Crazyfire can vouch for me.

I did a little fishing yesterday and it was a pretty normal fishing trip, other than the fact that I nearly had to go swimming after Yankees net. He was teaching me how to throw a 12 foot mullet net and on the second throw the wrist loop slipped off and into the water it went.......luckily we snagged the rope with a hook and got it back.....lol You should have seen the look on Yankee's face...hahaha. I'm starting to get the hang of them bigger nets.......but I think I'll stick with my little 8 footer for a little while.....lol. Anyway, I caught a cow nose ray and it looked like the night was going to be a miss, that is until my little rod starts screaming! I pick up the rod, let the circle hook do it's think and start fighting the fish. It was a good fight, nice hard pulling. I thought it was another ray until we hit it with the spot light, NICE bull red. Of course I left my pier net at home, but luckily I had a smaller net in the truck. Crazyfire climes down the rocks and nets it. We measured it at 40" and let her go. Kudos to Jeff (crazyfire)on the revive!

Ray,

You start giving me a little heads up i will start comming out to the peir,gives me a reason to look for some mullet anyway.Good report as always,but you should know better then to not have a backup set of batteries.oke You gonna be out at McRee this afternoon?If so Bigfishrookie and myself will see you out there,i think we should get out there between 5 and 6.

First Catch, I use a carolina rig with a 2/0 circle hook for cut bait, larger hookfor live bait. I use a steel leader b/c you neve know what will grab the line but if you are targeting reds only, then a mono leader will work. When using live bait I sometimes use a different rig, one similar to what is used for stiper fishing with live bait.

Last Chance, I'll be sure to give you a call the next time I head out that way. Clay should be out there about the same time as you, I'll be getting there a little later.

Just kidding, sounds like a nice red, and a good time.:toast
