Kay,...Biggest fish....I've heard this story before.
Glad to see ya'll having some fun. Jim

Can someone give me the specifics on who you booked the trip with? I'm freezing my azz off here in Fort Worth, and already have cabin fever. I'd like to book a trip down there!

Thanks for any info you can offer!

We booked a guide one day with a tag boat, there was 8 of us. 4 in the guide boat and 4-in the tag boat. they took us to the delta areas 3-foot of water pretty much. After 2 days of doing that, of our 4 days to fish, we opted to head to the mouth of the south pass and fish the jetties for big reds...
We did fine after that one day with a guide, I do suggest you get a guide for one day. Bait is expensive $$$$ you'll need 50 live shrimp per person per day, they run 35-45 cents per shrimp it cost $90.00 a day in bait. We did catch some nice reds and a few bulls in the shallows the first 2-days
Most of the bull reds were caught on Squid at the jetties the squid is a better deal $16.50 per 5-lb box, we'd buy 2-boxes a day... I wouldn't recommened the guide service we choose..900.00 dollars + 250 for the tag boat.. $1150.00 for the day, that was the best deal I could find at the time.. Good luck..
