Advise Needed!!!

[southern151]

Alright guys, I made my first trip to Lak De Allemes(SP?) today. I really didn't know what I was gonna get into. I soon learned that the reds were boiling, EVERYWHERE!!!!! The problem is, I couldn't get them to take to anything! I saw they were chasin shad and finger mullet. I caught some shad and mullet, via my cast net. Still nothing! I threw sand eels, bombers, spinners, rattle traps, plastic worms, top waters, etc... Basically, I threw everything in there but the kitchen sink and my tackle box although, the tacle box got REAL close!!!!

What did I do wrong? I tried all different speeds and techs on retreival and presentations. I really believe that the only thing that would have gotten them in the boat would have been a bow, although, I did have one hit my transom while I was clippin along pretty good! I got some pics of the scales on my transom he left behind and I'll email em to somebody if they'd like. Pretty cool cuz another couple of inches and it woulda been my leg!

Anyway, what could I have done differently? Who wants to go out there with me? The volume of reds was unbelievable!
