VBay Afternoon Mixed Bag

[Marque]

Ran out of ICY Thursday afternoon with a couple of friends after messing around with some duck blinds. Found a few fish stacked up in the marsh. Bite turned south when tide slacked. Went out to Tette Butte. Had a moderate to strong incoming and water was nice, 18" of Vis. Thought it was going to be on but all we managed to boat was one foul hooked trout. Ran back to the first spot about an hour before sunset and managed to fill out a 3 man limit of reds, 6 flounder and 15 trout. The tide had turned around and the fish started feeding again. I am sure they were there when I left the first time but they wouldn't bite without some type of tidal movement. Trout didn't start biting till after the sun went down. Caught most of them in the dark. Only color they wanted was Black and Charturse. Caught most on Matrix Vortex and a few on a Wedge Tail. Should have brought some dead shrimp. Would have caught more flounder. Water was dirty and fresh. They were just there.

Cooked them tonight. They were pretty good.

Best way I have found to cook redfish on the half shell
Soak in sprit for 15 to 20 minutes
Remove from Sprite and place in a large baking pan.
Coat each fish with pecan or olive oil.
Lightly spread cajun power garlic sauce evenly over all filets
Sprinkle the following evenly over the Redfish after you have worked oil and cajun power into the fish.
Salt To taste
Red Pepper 1 1/2 table spoons
Black Pepper 2 to 3 table spoons
Coconut Pslam Sugar 3 to 5 table spoons
Garlic Salt 2 to 3 table spoons
Ground Rosemary 2 to 4 table spoons
Grated Parmasian Cheees 1 to 1/2 Cups
Massage all ingredients into fish
Place over Med to Med High charcoal briquettes
About half way through spread shredded Parmasian Cheese over the top of fish .
Try to judge melting the cheese just long enough not to over cook.
Enjoy.
