First Light First Bite!!!
First Light First Bite!!!
Jul 26, 2025 New Smyrna Beach
Hank called me recently and said he and his son tyler wanted to catch a big redfish while they were in town. We got together at first light and after checking a couple spots hooked into this beautiful mosquito lagoon reddish. Drag screaming action to start the morning is always the best.

Drew showed up with his son and nephew, ready to see what our waters could deliverโ€”and man, did it deliver. The action started fast, and before long the crew was in the thick of it, battling big, over-slot redfish one after another. By the time the dust settled, four giants had come boat-side, including a massive 41-inch redโ€”the biggest fish any of them had ever caught. Smiles, high-fives, and a memory those boys wonโ€™t be forgetting anytime soon.

Tom called wanting to beat the heat and try an afternoon-to-evening run, hoping the cooler hours would bring some actionโ€”and it sure did. As the sun started to dip, the water came alive. Before long, Tom was hanging on as a massive over-slot redfish tore off on a run, the biggest heโ€™d ever seen on his line. Just as the excitement settled, another brute red followed, then a huge black drum stepped up for the finale. Every fish was bigger than anything heโ€™d ever caught beforeโ€”an evening of firsts, drag-screaming battles, and memories he wonโ€™t forget.
