Big Lake 1/5/2013

We were the only boat on Big Lake (that we saw) this morning. Wind started whipping right when we got to Heberts around 7:30 a.m., but no rain. We went straight to the weirs and the water was rushing out. Stayed for 3 hours and 4 of us caught and released over 70 redfish on anything that floated (no live bait). Most were 25 to 28 inches. Water was chocolate color, but we came from Texas and had to fish today. Left at 11:30 a.m. and the fish were still bitting. Still want to catch monster trout, but hope this was a just warm-up (pardon the pun). Should be back in a month.
