She was just under 7lbs. Lived in WP out of college and fished it almost daily in its "hey day" 80's. Remember watching weigh ins that took 30 plus pounds to win. Been a long time but heck of a lake then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfish in the gulf of mexico (the one in the picture) tend to have a silver color to them. Whereas inland Reds are more brown/darker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use those for bait over at Mexico Beach. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,366 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 First feesh of 2020. I wound up getting a Lew’s Tournament Speed Spool 7:1 left hand and matched it with a Daiwa MH rod for ripping cranks. Looks like it worked. Got a gar 🤷♂️. Big bass went for 3.55. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NolaAuTiger 3,295 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 21 hours ago, SaltyTiger said: Where and details.........dynamite? Delacroix, Louisiana. Marsh adjacent to Mississippi river - with duck season over, the waters are free game if you can find a boat launch. Reds and cats were caught on 1/8oz jighead w/ frozen shrimp (live shrimp are hard to find right now because of all the flooding this summer). Bass were caught on 1/16oz jighead w/ plastic grub and spoon. "Salty cats" are no good, but as long as there isn't too much salinity, they are quite tastey! 14 hours ago, augolf1716 said: Why WD40? Ha. I've actually found it very useful for maintenance of my filet knifes. Periodically apply just a tad after use.
