Found a group of nice redfish in two reliable areas. Quite a few fish around today but they were tough. All fish caught on Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads in camo. All fish...

Well, starting to get busy at Redfish U. again. Guided Tom (Flounderpounder) this morning in the Blackwater area.

Brant Peacher and I got out this morning from 6am-10am for some fun-fishing. Found massive concentrations of 23-27″ redfish on some shallow flats. Probably got around 25 solid redfish.

Got 6-7 very nice jumps out of the fish and several bullish runs. Saw a few more tarpon and then focused on the redfish. All fish caught on 1/4 Johnson Gold Spoons and all fish released. The festivities ended with a lovely brunch and “make your own bloodys” at the Hilton. What an epic...
