A friend , his son, and I went out this morning for their first redfish trip.� We got into a good bite.� Ended up catching 12 and hooked up with 11 more that broke our line or shook us after some long fights.� This is one of 3 that his son got in the boat.� I think they are hooked.�

Well done! Congrats!

It can be addictive, that's for sure. What bait were you suing? How deep were they?

Thanks.....

Sue the bait they weren't bitin' - LOL!

Nice going. Those reds are something else.

Thanks,

We caught them on shrimp and crawfish. Carolina rigged in 9-12 feet of water.

Drifting? Stillfishing?

Stillfishing as best we could. I don't have a very good anchor for the choppiness of the water.

What has the water been like the past couple of days?
I was thinking of going today, would be my first trip. If I can pull it off, I'll get there about 3pm.

1 1/2' to 2' on the main lake. Coves on the ramp sided of the lake are smooth.

Thanks for the info, t-l.

May be headed that way next week for a couple of days of reds and bream.

I went yesterday, got skunked. Not even 1 bite.
I trolled with various crank baits.
I also tried still fishing, and drift fishing using shad, squid, and shrimp.
I must have seen 10,000 big fish on the depth locator. I just could not find anything they liked, or they just were not hungry.
Still, it is a beautifull lake, and there are fish.

Good looking pic

Some of those schools are gar, had you tried live or dead shad?

I did use shad. I put 4 on a hook, hooking them through the eye. I don't know how any fish would thumb their nose at that.
