Had what I figured would be a slow afternoon - turn out pretty fun. Caught my first over slot red, 31 incher, another blacktip, blue fish, nice spanish mackeral and a bucket of whiting.

Tried whiting for cut bait - i was told some other guys were doing great for bulls on cut whiting, specifically the head. I tried that - until i cast netted some mullet , and caught a large skip jack , Z-man's red fish candy, which his advice on that has been dead on this last week.

Caught the black tip on the skip jack cut, and then was resting up from the fight, and my smaller penn the 5500, starts jumping around - and then 31 inch red was on, a fun fight. Was catching whiting for cut bait, but they started getting bigger, so I kept about 10 of those, my wife's favorite fish and I of couse always want to accomodate her wishes.

Fun day out there.

After reading other people's reports on facebook, etc. , I was nearly skunked compared to others taking limits and catching lots of bull reds. Was a good afternoon for me - still have a heck of a lot to learn.

nice catch, Donnie.

I have only caught one bull red this year. I'm going out tomorrow and fish hard for most of the day at Packery jetty hoping for the best. The snook have been biting, so I want to try to catch either or both.
