Heading to New Mexico Saturday and I wanted to have reds on a half shell to have friends over when we're up there. The only reds I had were already fileted. Went out for a little over an hour today and good news, I was successful. Got a 26-in red. And to throw in for extra added measure 19 inch trout that I let go. Bad news is that I think we're having a bout of brown tide in laguna. Maybe Rebecca or somebody can find out for us and let us know.

I would not expect any different results from such an excellent fisherman!
Have a safe trip to New Mexico and enjoy! I hope the weather forecasters are better there! Laughing

By the way, because the water was so ugly I used my top water with a red sand eel Junior as a dropper about a foot to 18 in below it. The Red grabbed onto the dropper. I work the topwater in the walk the dog pattern with occasional stops on the retrieve.

I got that idea from fly fishing when I use a stimulator and a dropper. The top water is the stimulator and then you have the dropper. I have caught fish on both at the same time before

Several guides are reporting that there is a bloom of brown tide in the upper laguna. The only place they found clean water was Kate's and Dead Man's hole. Doesn't sound good

Maybe it will be better when you get back.
