Biggest red to date on Thanksgiving. Also seen lots of flounder, sheepshead and mangrove snapper around then depending on conditions. Live shrimp on a 2/0 Kahle hook. 12 in leader and a small 1/8 oz weight above it. You'll have to put up with some smart bait thieves, but should still pay off. I like dropping it just in front of the last rock you can see in the water. |

| Best bull reds I caught last year was Christmas week in really nasty surf. Look for crabs in the "wash". |

I used to fish the North Jetty in Port A on Thanksgiving. Turkey sandwiches, beer and a small portable TV to watch the Cowboy game. Always caught fish.

| Best trip I have had was Thanksgiving a few years ago. Caught reds and black drum in the surf in front of the Island House. We are going to be there this Thanksgiving to try it again. |
