Left the ramp at 7:00am with a moderate low tide, south wind at 10+ and partly cloudy. Fished live shrimp and mud minnows around the oyster bars and caught 8 nice redfish, the largest two being 25" and six pounds each. My brother and law and fishing buddy Jason "Colecat" Coleman was spooled by what appeared to be a very large redfish. Occassionally I will catch small jacks there, but this guy pulled like a red so we both decided as the last foot of 10lb line disappeared from his shimano and the line popped that it was a 30+" redfish. If only we had been in the boat at the time we could have chased him down. By 11:00 the wind had picked up to 15+mph so we called it a day and a good one at that.
