  • Red fish at morning

    I’ve had the opportunity to fish the same spot the last two days in the slower lower, and achieved slams both days. On Sunday I fished with Ron and he got the SMOG slam of striper, red, trout and perch, along with a cutlass fish. I didn’t get a red but got striper, trout, perch, lizard, and cutlass fish.





    We found the majority of our fish by trolling along the edge of a grass bed, as best as we could follow it. If you were 20’ off the grass you probably weren’t getting a bite.

    Today I fished with Doug and had a super Slam by catching 6 different species in my first 7 fish. In order, Cutlass, trout, perch, redfish, lizard and then a 19” striper. The trout was 21” and the red a true puppy.




    Today the grassbeds weren’t producing like yesterday so we moved towards the drop off from the flats. I put on a Gulp swimming mullet and started bottom bouncing hoping to add a flounder to the mix. Doug said he found some perch so I started to troll over when my rod doubled over, thinking at first CNR, but head shake said fish. After a spirited fight I had my personal best red fish, 22”.


    Within a minute Doug yells big fish, he got a 22” red as well.



    After that the tide waned along with the fishing. Not a lot of fish, but boy were they great fish .

    Sounds like a hell of a couple days Mike! Congrats on the PB red.

    I need to make another trip down there sometime soon... I'll give you a heads up if/when I do, maybe we can fish again!

          Excellent variety Mike.

          That's a unique spot pattern on your first redfish. You didn't do that with a Sharpie, did you?

              Mike,

              That's funny.

              I've heard there are contests in TX and LA to see who can catch the red with the most spots.

              I think Ron's would place highly in such a contest.
