The reds still love me...Pic added

Post by Norm »

Finally got out yesterday with my buddy Dan. Doing a little pre-fishing for the Halloween PFTS coming up. May be the only shot I get before the tournament and I desparately wanted to get some time on the water.
It was a beautiful morning, but still HOT :!: Was 80 degrees when I stepped out my front door at 6am.
Was pretty quiet most of the morning, but finally found the pattern. Seems the red-shouldered spotted drum was hanging on the sandy spots.
Got to love that Bone spook...just drives them wild. I typically don't have much luck with the top waters and Reds, but this was an exception. Finally landed my first red in quite awhile. Measured out at 27-28 inches and very fat. His buddy was trying to grab the lure out of his mouth at the same time..and he was at least 6 inches longer :roll: What a blast :!: Had a bunch more blow-ups, but no hookups :roll: Landed a couple of small trout, and a sasquatch pinfish :lol:
All in all, the best part was fishing with my buddy Dan again....been too long my friend :wink:

Still got the Mojo! Must have felt real nice to get out again no matter the weather eh Norm. That's the second instance I've heard of red's fighting over a Spook. Verrry cool. Of course I don't believe your fish story without any pics but, hey, it sure sounded good. :wink:
