December 26, 2005 - Tons of Redfish and Snapper!

Today I had the priviledge of having another guest aboard the boat, my sister-in-law Kele. With the water perfectly flat in the morning and 1 foot seas in the afternoon it was a great day to head offshore.



We tried our luck at a rig about 23 miles offshore and did quite well. In all we had 7 Redfish (3 retained), 6 of which were over 28". Redfish weren't the only thing biting, we also boated over 20 Red Snapper, but unfortunately all by one were below 15". In addition there were 2 black drum caught in the 24-'28" range.



All fish were caught on squid (on the bottom) or spanish sardines freelined. The wind was 2-5 knots in the morning and 5-10 knots in the afternoon with a high of 71. The water temperature was a cool 54 degrees.
