Trip Summary
Trip Summary
The week of Christmas may not seem like the time to fish in Destin. However, there are fewer boats on the water meaning less pressure on the fish.
This week we found some bull redfish under the Destin bridge. Outgoing tide, live shrimp on a 2/O demon perfect circle hook, 30lb Andes Fluorocarbon, 2oz lead on a L4K rig, and a Penn 4500 Spinfisher VI.
Our tag 589 on a healthy release will be monitored by Coastal Resources. This fish was 9.5lbs and 32" long.
Kian has been fishing with me for the past five years. I'm very proud of him.
