Got on the water for a few hours(6-8am) with my good friend and website designer, Randy Hamilton and my dad. Fished some very protected banks and scored big on the redfish and trout. Ended up with over 20 quality trout and some heavy redfish. All fish taken on Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads in camo, lime tiger and sardine.

Well, starting to get busy at Redfish U. again. Guided Tom (Flounderpounder) this morning in the Blackwater area.

Jerkshads in camo and 1/4oz Johnson Gold Spoons. Long distance spotting and long distance casts are the key. Those fish in there are a wreck and very uncooperative. All fish...
