Sweet!
That's interesting. What weight jig head were you using?
1/32nd. only 4 ft of water.
That had to be a ball on light line! Nice catch.
Any spec's? I seem to do best on outgoing tide, have you noticed any tide better?Been trying to get to lighthouses( fish the rock piles) but winds have kept me pretty much at dock or very close :(
Thinking of BDR on Wednesday.. If weather allows, Rain isn't to bad when its warm but elec. from sky scares the pi$$ out of me!
Nice Pup. On light tackle know that was fun. Hope she lived to make someone smile another day. They do like shallow water.
This fish was Sat afternoon on an outgoing, although I did better the next AM on an incoming. Caught 2 specs to 19", 3 more puppy drum to 20" and a small rockfish @ 15". All on chartr gulps this time.Quote:

agreed. They taste wonderful...blackened redfish is very popular in the southern gulf states. I released several others but did eat this fish. Boneless skinless filets in foil boat with tomato, onion, garlic, s&p, olive oil, white wine and lemon on the grill. Outstanding!Quote:
