December Reds
We (my son, Scott and I) left the
condo about 7:00 A.M. and stopped by Port A
Outfitters for a quart of shrimp. The weather was pretty cold (high
forties)
and the wind was blowing too, about 15-20. First stop was the wall
nothing. Then on our way to north wind island, we stopped at
marker 8
across from Crab Man nothing. Went up M/C cut to north wind
Island
nothing. Back to South Bay (2 other boats there, one obviously
a guide).
We caught a 23 keeper red, then 3 that were 19+ that we had to throw
back
too small, and got four more keepers, All were 20 23. We had
five
keepers in the box so we could catch one more for our limit of 6.
Scott and
I both hooked up at the same time. They were both keepers so we
kept one
and threw one back. Headed back to marina and tried the Texas Treasure
(gambling boat) Fina dock. The TT was out of course.
Just one rat red.
Called it a day at about 2:45 P.M. Temperature had gotten into the high
sixties and the wind had dropped. An overall great day on the
water. Four
and one-half pounds of fillets.
