I haven't posted much in quite a while. Between the tarpon trips and prefishing freshwater, my regular saltwater time has been limited. Fished Saturday with Tim in freshwater as we were prefishing for a local tournament on the 18th. Only caught one bass 15 inches long...lol! Really missed my saltwater fishing. Sven invited me to join him Sunday at Bottoms Road. Since I have been stinking it up freshwater fishing, I needed a saltwater fix, so Sunday was on!

It was a little choppy when we launched, but the wind never got bad and the day turned out really nice. Sven caught 2 nice trout and 3 very nice reds that measured 23, 24 and 25 inches respectively. And that's all he managed to land. He did lose a couple of other reds as well. Since there was a decent amount of loose grass, I primarily fished a soft plastic rigged weedless. Had a blast and landed 13 reds. Lost a few others as well. Never got a trout hookup. The water was pretty murky due to all the recent rain.

Here are a few shots from the trip.

Thanks for the report!

That’s a great report. We only scratched out a few reds that weekend. Any idea what that spot is on the red, third to last pic? Kinda looks like a hot spot you’d see on a red snapper that wasn’t iced we’ll. Never seen anything like that on a red. Thanks again

Sven had that red in his ice chest. Will assume that is the cause. I'm sure it didn't have that area when he initially landed the fish. The fish had been in his bag for a hour or two.
