Note: The last few days we've had the last of an outgoing tide and we've been getting Redfish at drainages and "cuts" between oyster beds - handfuls of small Reds, but sometimes some slots, and today, two Oversized Reds. Throwing jigs and live shrimp.
That was the ticket. Our next stop, JC's, was at a bend in the river and the shell was exposed so we went with jigs and the shrimp and began to get fish, especially when we got up to a "cut" between some oysters that was draining water out of the marsh. The trio of anglers combined to catch small but feisty Redfish, a couple of Seatrout, a small Flounder, a couple of small Sea Bass, a Puffer Fish!, a Croaker, a Grunt and then.....BAM! Ann had made a good cast to the shell and when it hit she said there was no mistaken, it was a big fish! Ann played it perfectly and kept that pressure on and fought the big fish and after a long battle, landed an Oversized 27.75" Redfish, boy what a fish. And shortly after that it was Scott's turn to battle the big fish. His fish was ripping drag and took him from the bow to the stern, from starboard to port and back again. Scott fought it patiently and eventually landed another Oversized 32.25" Redfish - big enough to move him into 3rd place in the Anglers Mark 2025 Bragging Rights Tournament-Redfish Category (scroll down the right side of this report for standings).
