Nice catch. Perfect eating sized. Have you ever try grilling reds on pit with skin on with budweiser bbq sauce?

giving all these to the ladies at work on the half shell.

I hear ya I do the same when I dont feel like cleaning my catch. I have a few women at work that keep an ice chest in their trunk now. I will be hitting that general area this afternoon and tomorrow. I am hoping this storm will turn them on. Last week I did good with pearl and also chart with a salt and pepper flake. When I ran out of pearl I couldn't get them to hit glow.

Did you catch them up in the marsh past houses or out on lake side? When do they normally get way up shallow in the marsh where you can see them?

Twenty years ago we use to do good on the north east are where there use to be a small island and some pipes just south of it. I need to do some trolling to find that area with my depth finder.

caught them in marshes.... low tide you can see em up in the grass lines. it was outgoing yesterday. with a high tide they will be all up in the grass area but you wont be able to see em. sometimes you can see the weeds moving. caught two that were on the grasslines but they were chasing shad up shallow. I do my best sightfishing on low tides.

In years past i have found alot of reds in sept around midlake reefs under, under birds.... last year in october i found schools around washout and 9 miles consistenly.

I dont concentrate on them bc the flounder run is coming and specks usually get to be right around those times.

wishing i had these reds for the tourney.... 3 of the 6 i caught were 7lbs-8lbs... 24-26 inches

had one take the bait before i could even click the reel. 7:1 ratio came in handy when that sucker started running at me!!!!

Awful convenient that you found these after the tourney, sounds like a good fish story to me
