This is my first post here. I read often and like the communication. I set out for my first real fall trip to the beach for redfish. Been catching a lot of blues at Alabama Pointe Bridge for weeks, but I've been waiting to hit the beach again. Stopped at Walmart and bought some fresh gulf shrimp, and planned to catch some live bait at the Alabama Pointe Bridge but no bait was running.
I have a spot just over the Florabama border that rarely fails to deliver trophy reds. Wet my line at 8pm and the next hour I cought 5 nice whiting. From 9 to 10 caught four more whiting a little smaller, but still good for frying.
I fish three surf rods, a heavy, a medium and an ultra light. Decided to pack it an a little after 10pm. I had packed my ultralight first and was headed to the medium when it doubled over and I knew I had what I came for.
After a very good 10 to 15 minute battle I landed a 36 inch red. My personal largest. Another large red followed it most of the way in. I've only been in Pensacola for 4 years and a good friend taught me how to fish, and I've been addicted for about 3 years.
Good Luck Everyone.
