Reds stacked up in SWLA 1/15/2011

[RickyH]

Wasn't planning on going fishing today until I walked outside this morning. The warmer temp got me going so a buddy jumped in with me and we hit the water at 2:30. Launched at Ellender's Bridge and ran down the salt ditch to our only spot for the day. Incoming tide, water temp around 49, and low wind. Fished from 2:30-6:30 and caught 125 redfish. Caught our 10 keepers right off the bat and played catch and release till our arms got sore. Caught 24 reds one cast after the other, then slowed down and took about an hour to reach 50. After that it turned on again and was fast action until 119, then we ended at 125. Out of all the fish, maybe 5 were less than 16". Also caught about 20 black drum and one flounder.

Average size



Number 100



10 Keepers

Oh yea, only bait I tried was a chartreuse swimming mullet. Some on a pink one. They liked that alot so I didn't see a need to change.
