29" Red Fish

Tough fishing today, small bites here and there. Lots of whiting in the deeper fast moving water. The back water was slow. But we did catch a nice bonnet head shark on lite tackle.

Started very slow at the bottom of the outgoing tide. Spent first hour tossing live shrimp but couldn't find the fish. Switch tactics and started throwing heavy jig heads out in the river. Caught some nice whiting but no black drum. Headed to the St Mary's jetties on the south side. Incoming tide but is was slow until Boom. Perfect 27" Red Fish. Some small fish here and there but nothing else. Seas were choppy swells around 3 feet. Wind was out oh the south at 10-15 knots. Perfect weather but the fish didn't want to cooperate. One Big Red fish is better than none. Memory of a life time for Jacob.

Left at 4 pm on the bottom of an outgoing tide. Winds were out of the west at 8 knots. Water was moving quite fast. Pulled up to the St Mary's jetties on the Florida side south. Not much of a bite at first,but as soon as the tide shift and started to rise and come back in ,the bite was one. Doubling up on both Red Fish,Bull Reds and quite a few sand trout. Worked there for there hours and constantly caught fish.
