We were on the Texas/Louisiana border (in Texas waters) at daybreak, the
temperature was in the 70's and the water was fairly calm, with just a tiny
bit of roll to it. We anchored and dropped 3 poles in at about 25 feet.
For bait we were using funky old dead fish broken in half so the chunks were
about 5 inches square, large single barb hooks and large teardrop weights. We
also had a smaller pole going with dead shrimp, trying to catch some small
croakers for bait. With in 10 minutes we had our first strike, and a
nice 27 inch red-fish was landed, this was on the dead fish. About 5
minutes later the dead shrimp was hit at the surface and a 32 inch red-fish
was landed. 10 minutes later I was back in action on the dead fish with
a 40 + inch red-fish.
Not bad, about 30 minutes, 3 reds. I caught 2, the 27 and 40+ and
Chester landed the 32 incher. Jack still hasn't caught anything, but
let's not mention that... The 27 inch boy was grilled, the 32 and 40+
guys were let go to be caught another day...
