Fished the bars and a creek- a ton of short Mangrove Snappers, A ton of short Sheepes and 4 nice, but just short reds. And then finally one keeper 17" Sheep Head.

Got the sheepes and mangoes on shrimp on the bottom- no shocker there.
The reds hit White shrimp style grubs on a jig head worked along the bars.

What a beautiful day- calm, quite and sunny.

You guys don't fuss about be fishing on a work day- I will be working all weekend while you fish! Enjoy the water with everyone else :-D

I was right on the big Oyster bar near Shell Point- you know where that is right? It is really visible at low tide. :D

One real hint- the reds were on a bar - not in the creek.
That surprised me after the cold this weekend.

Putting together the puzzle. Who knows sometimes but when we put together enough of the picture and catch fish it is a great feeling.
