Aren't both Beef O'Brady's kinda just off Thomasville Road? Across from Wally*World and in the old Miracle Plaza (or whatever it's called now)? What time is, "early"? What's the protocol for eating -- individual, whenever or, all at once? Before or after the guest speaker? Some good menu item suggestions? Thanks! :thumbup:

Target rocky grass points that are close to oyster bars or grass points that have deep spots with a point or a depression by or at the point. That's where I seem to catch them. Lot's of 14"ers and up to about 20" or so. They'll eat about any gulp bait as well as shrimp and even grubs or spoons. Also fish the oyster bars and look for current rips or water passing over the drops.

the exact spot where you tore up the reds in 'more results east of lighthouse' is awesome for flounder. there's a couple of dips from the current on your east side where you were sitting. retrieve a soft bait with a jig head slowly bouncing off the bottom. i like redfish magic zulu for them there.
Mookbait! At least 401 times better than live bait!

This is the way we catch 'em also, and get close to a bar or sloping bank and fish the bottom where the water drops off. Flounders like those places and hit grubs well. Good luck. :smt004
