| Sorry but this post will not have pics. Still can't get Photobucket work right. And haven't taken the time to figure out other photo-sharing sites. Went out this morning to the pita Island area. Winds were blowing pretty good already this morning about 8:30. Did pretty well despite the winds. Got two keeper trout and four slot Reds. One went 22, to were 26, and the other was 28 inches. Fished the same spot yesterday and picked up a 24-inch red and a 30 incher. All caught on Tequila Gold sand eels fishing grass lines or potholes. All were CPR. |

Have you tried the photobucket app? I use it from my phone and i havent had any issues lately. Sounds like a good morning of fishing! _________________ Great captains, the stuff of legend, are made not by what they have caught, but by what they have given back. |

Good job Zia! I was afraid of the wind today but I don't think it was as bad as advertised. I would love to get into some reds but have had trouble finding them. _________________ Longhorn |

| try the 'tiny pic' ap, (I think it's called the tiny pic keyboard) that's the one that Tyler recommends. There is an icon on the upper left that allows you to switch from copying the photo to copying the link and that's what you want to use. |

| I think I have a package of both the Norton Tequila Gold sand eels and the sand eel jr. that have never seen the water. What size jig head do you use them on if I might ask? |

| The 28 incher I caught did something that I never had a redfish do before. After I hooked him I didn't want to go out of my fishing area so I drop my power pole to fight him. All of a sudden he goes down and stays there like a stingray would do. I had tension on him and he had tension on me and neither one of us was moving. I finally plucked on my fishing line to send a vibration down and that must have ticked him off because he just hauled buns after that. Finally I was able to you bring him in. When he was hunkered down I thought maybe he took me into a crab trap or something but I was finally able to get him in. |
