Reds on Fire

Destin Inshore Fishing
Florida Sportsman member: Capt. Blake Nelson
We had a good day with the trout. Everything was caught on live shrimp under a popping cork in 3-5 ft of water by a creek mouth. The average fish we caught was in the 14″-15″ range…seemed like they were all 14.75″. We managed 35 keepers for the day, the biggest was 21.5″.

I caught a bunch of small reds and small trout on shrimp. I started chumming with the shad and hooked into this redfish, it was 38 inches and weighed 18 pounds. It was all messed up from either a boat or a shark or something, it was a good fish [...]
