Reds close to the river

[SuthernBowRush]

Out fishing by the saltwater barrier before the big rain. Haven't had a chance to post until now...

We did okay between fishing the banks past the barrier. Then the overflow area there around the point where the old river starts. Lots of stumps and a half dead trollin' battery got us outta there pretty quick.

First year to fish that at all..but sounds like the fishing has been better there in years past...we caught a few throw back reds...one keeper spec.

Then we ran up the river to polish off the evening bass fishing and I caught this one in moss bluff bay on a coutner strike buzz bait! Talk about wonder what kinda bass I had on the line!

Does anyone have any luck with reds by the barrier? I don't have a boat big enough to do much in big lake! hope the report helps...any kinda help on finding the reds would be appreciated!
