I'll start this post by apologizing to Sir Reel for yesterday. He and I are not intended to have a good day of fishing together. We fished hard yesterday and did not catch a fish.

I couldn't stand it, and went back this morning. I'll start by saying if any of you stayed home today because of the NOAA forecast, you missed a beautiful day. I launched at the lighthouse at 0700 this morning and headed east in search of reds. The wind was at 5 to 8 mph out of the east, with a light chop on the water. I really had no idea where to start this morning, so, I picked a spot and started fishing. Not a bite for the first 45 minutes. Then I found the spot. I caught 6 reds from 20" to 27", and had that many more on. It all happened in an hour. But what an hour. I'm hooked on this red fishin.


This is the 27"er.

Sir Reel, I'm beginning to think the fish are scared of you.

All right, Tin Can! Man, I wish I could have gone today.

Nice.....

Gotta love those Reds...... Nice catch .

Fishing with Sir Reel you should have at least caught some short reds.
WTG,Tincan.

Nice job TC. You've got those St. Mark's reds dialed in. BTW a buddy and I went down to the refuge pools this morning with the flyrods and wanted to kick ourselves for listening to NOAA. . . we should have been redfishing.

Looks like you took the wrong boat...nice fish

I saw y'all on my way in this morning. If I had known it was you I would have stopped and introduced myself. Looked like one of you was hung up when I went by. Did you get your fly back?

And what lure did you use to catch those reds?
