I've said it before, this is my favorite time of year. I believe fall starts when the big bulls start passing through the gulf passes. We caught just a few last month, and I knew it would be getting better. The last few days proved it, we landed some 22 bull reds and 8-9 black drum. All the fish were carefully released after a few quick pictures. This is something you have to try at least once if you haven't before. The shear power of these reds is just amazing, and to think some of the bigger ones we have caught could easily be 20-30 years old. Both parties were repeat clients, one group experienced this for the first time last year and were trying to set new personal best. Goal accomplished, 44-46". The other group has been fishing the jetties with me for almost 9 years, and this time they brought the kids along to let them have a go at these big bulls. Not a bad FIRST saltwater experience having your first fish at 48". We all had fun and will have many stories to share 'till next year.

My only remaining dates for bulls left open are November 18,19,21,22.
Contact me if interested in trying your hand at battling on of these brutes.

I might be interested in fishing for bull reds. but I'm too old for wade fishing. What could I do as far as fishing

Nice fish!

Snowyriver 6 give me a call 210-452-9680. i have a couple openings left in November for bull reds. I think you would have a ball.

Surf should be full of them right now...

I'm sure it is, but the swells coming out of the East with our coastal flood advisory has had the surf pretty rough the last 4-5 days. If we could ever get a true north wind I'm sure it will flatten out.

what do you use for bait for bull reds?

We have had good luck in Trinity Bay with Tidal Surge split-tail plastics. The feeding habits may differ around Seadrift.

down here we anchor up along side the jetties and I throw whole crab down on the bottom. I have trolled the edge of the rocks throwing deep diving crank baits and caught them that way, but the tide has to be slow enough to be able to control the boat.
