After reading all y'alls good reports from today, i'm thinkin there was somethin to do with the moon maybe that had the fish feeding because we slayed em here too several hundred miles to the north.
The reds are in their wintertime patterns here, schooled up tight. All it takes is a warm day to make them active and agressive, and when you find the schools...watch out. Today was one of those days. It was 3 of us fishin today and we caught somewhere around 60-70 reds among us in a few hours. Mostly 18-20" fish but some nicer ones too, some were at the top or over the slot. The fish were schooled up in 1-2 feet of water over oyster bottom tryin to get warm i assume. DOA shrimp, spinnerbaits, gulp...didn't really matter. I stayed busy catchin and less busy takin pics but i managed to snap a few..
~27"
double-up on the lil guys...ignore the accidental gesture..
I'll take better photos next time i promise.
