Monday I went out to the jeties for a little while looking for Mr Redfish. I went solo so - no pictures - sorry. Used live shrimp and small shad for bait. Ended up catching one red at 40inches, one ?bull nose ray?, sand trout, flounder, spanish mackerel, small croaker, whiting, and so fourth. Did not keep any fish - catch and release only this trip. Wednesday - Took my neighbor out fishing. We set out to get Mr Redfish but after 30minutes of flat water and no bites we decided to head out. The only problem we had was that the Yaght Base was out of deep water bait. Fortunately I had a little left over from another trip and we had a few dozen big shad intended for Red Fish. We went about 12 miles out and it was on immediately! Within the first 3 minutes of drifting around the rig I hooked into my biggest red snapper I have ever caught(23inches). Within 5 minutes my neighbor caught a KingFish that was around 50 inches on light tackle (medium action Uglystick, Ambasader Reel and 20lb Test)! We couldnt keep it because it was too long - much too long to fit into my 94qt cooler. We let him go unharmed. We messed around and lost a lot of hook ups but ended up with the following pics. 1 Speckled Trout - caught at the jetties, 2 Red Snapper, 10 Lane Snapper, 2 Angel Fish, and 2 King Fish. Great Day Out!
All In A Days Fun!!!

Is that an oil rig? Cool pics. I've never been saltwater fishing, but I would like to. My only concern is my motion sickness. I guess if I ever get the chance to go, I'll just pop some Meklazine and hope for the best. Way to go on all your success this trip! "Men and fish are alike.

Thanks Ya'll! Too bad we didn't get the big King on board for pictures. We didn't want to hurt it by gaffing it so I tried to grab its tail (done it before) and bring him on board but it was too big and too fiesty to get it close enough to the boat. He broke the line (20lb) in a sudden burst of energy! That was the catch of the day! (Message edited by dean on September 30, 2004) All In A Days Fun!!!

Nice job!!! I know some guys who paddle their kayaks out to the close rigs (2 miles or so) to get snapper when the conditions are right!! Love to fish and hunt.
