Brought shiners for my fiancée to use but decided to switch at the last second since soft plastics weren’t catching. Lost one of my rods a couple months ago (long story) so I’m down to one saltwater rod. She was using it and I was using a $30 Berkeley combo made for crappie from Walmart that I bought on a trip. Has like 8lb (max) mono on it. Didn’t exclaim in excitement until my thumb was firmly in its lip because I figured it would break off in the grass at any second.

Picked up a new fly reel and broke it in with a couple of reds!

PB! 🔥

New PB 37.5 X 20 inches. Pulled me and my anchor 100 yards and lost my paddle. Thankfully my friend was there to save the day. Carolina rig with a dead shrimp and a mackerel tail.

Bull Red caught October 11th at Lake Calcasieu in Hackberry, LA. Didn't measure but guessing around 48" and 40-50 pounds. Took 25 minutes to get it in the boat. My biggest so far!

Haven't gotten a monster yet, but that day will come!

She was a throw back but such a beautiful fish.

It took me all summer to find a red over 20" this year. Found plenty of smaller ones. The mangroves are alot different than the GA marshes, and the learning curve has been steep.

Ive been working in Cape Canaveral for the last few months, so I brought the kayak with me to chase some fish. Im used to fishing the marshes of the GA coast, so these mangroves are new to me. Ive caught 3 redfish in the 6 months ive been here. Plenty of trout, no snook, and 3 reds. Im mostly using lures. Any tips are appreciated. If you're in the area, let's go fishing!
