First dock light night trip!
First dock light night trip!
Jun 4, 2019 Freeport
We left the pickup location at 7pm. First stop we caught a few catfish. Once it got dark we headed towards our first dock that had green underwater lights. Soon as I pulled up I knew it was gonna be exciting! I could see shadows of upper slot Redfish all around the light. First cast with a live shrimp, we were hooked up within seconds! Had our limit of 5 Redfish within 10 mins. Headed to a few other docks, Redfish everywhere we went. After the first 10 mins of dock light fishing we just kept catching and releasing them back into the water! This trip was awesome and I highly recommend everyone to give it a try!

This morning Jimmy from ATL got a workout on his biggest fish ever! After 3 or 4 small Mangrove snappers he definitely wasnโ€™t expecting to hook up with this big guy! โ€œOh man this isnโ€™t a mangrove!โ€ Great job jimmy!

Todayโ€™s mid day trip was excellent. We fault through some nasty rain storms but it paid off. Came home with our two man limit of beautiful upper slot redfish. We released a ton more! Temps are continuing to rise and the bite is getting better and better!
