My buddy from Atlanta and I put the boat in around 2:00pm. The wind was too high, so we stayed inside the bridge and fished the grass banks. The fishing was slow but steady. We caught 7 or 8 short reds from 2:30pm until 4:00pm. At 4, the wind died down and the fish started biting better. From 4 to 5:30 we caught another 20 shorts, one 22", one 18" sheephead, and that one really big red that broke the line. Never saw it, but it was huge! :wink:

We were fishing live shrimp, bottom rigged, and as close to the grass as possible. Not too bad for two city boys on a windy day.

GT- nice work :thumbup:

Were you drifting, or did you anchor down in a good spot?

Thanks-

mjsigns, we caught the majority of the fish in two anchor spots. Wind and tide were too fast to drift.
