Another beautiful day in the Big Bend area. The first couple hours out were at the low tide and dead calm. No action and I did not even see any fish. Wind the tide started back in and the breeze picked up the redfish started biting.
All fish were caught on Redfish Magic spinnerbaits with a brown body and chartreuse tail. I really love those lures for blind casting.
All fish caught were over 25" with this bad boy a little under 27".
I had to anchor because of the wind and the reds were concentrated on a rocky area in 3' of water. I ended up losing my anchor while fighting a fish. The float came off the line and I never was able to find it after landing the fish.
Much thanks to Snookfinatic and Dustin for showing me the rockpile about 1 1/2 years ago.

Saaweeeet. Thanks for the invite.
I was stuck in the home office all day thanks to some radiator problems in the Jeep. At least I got to watch fishing on tv.
