Red Tide!

[Sea-Trac Offshore]

Fished a kayak tourney Saturday out of Galliano called the Minimalist Challenge. Everyone gets the same 5 lures and jig heads and thats all you get to use, no corks, scent, etc.. I ended up placing 4th out of 60 as I got on big reds and just could not get away from them. My friend and I were culling fish at about 8am I would think. We moved around trying to find trout but they were nowhere around so we stayed on the reds and wore them out. I culled until I got 5 that were just under 27" and also picked up 2 trout. I would say between him and I we caught and landed over 30 reds yesterday between 22"-31". It was so thick of them we were just laughing and catching as fast as you could cast you would have a red.

1st place was 45lbs 5 reds 25 trout (1 4lb trout)
2nd place was 35.95lbs 5 reds 17 trout
3rd place was 34.95lbs 5 reds 16 trout
4th place was 30.40lbs 5 reds 2 trout

Tells you the size of my reds compared to the other placings! They were fat. One of the reds I cleaned had a rat in its belly that was half decomposed.


2 man haul for the day


Daddy's #1 fans dying to see me cut open the fish. Can't wait till they can do it!!!!
