Red Fishing is red hot in Pensacola Bay

Why is the weatherman always wrong? Today it was supposed to be NW with winds at 5 –10 and seas calm to light chop in the bay. Well, let's just say 15 knots and choppy to rough. Ok, now let's talk red fishing; today it was ok, not great, but we did manage to make some drags scream. I had Josh and his wife April on the boat and they wanted to feel the pull of a monster red. Josh had only caught big catfish from Kentucky, and when he hooked into his first redfish, he was amazed with their pure power. {%image_id=18412%} {%image_id=18413%} He kept saying, "Is this guy ever going to stop running?" I said, "When he sees the boat he'll do it again." April had a great time landing her first red, too. It was a tough day finding the reds, but I managed to put them on a few. We fished 3-mile bridge for a bit, trying our luck with some trout. But just as the trout bite started, I spotted a large school of reds working some bait on the other side of the bridge, so I pulled the lines in and headed over to the feeding frenzy. We managed to hook a few more reds to end the trip, which made for a nice way to top off the day. {%image_id=18411%} Till next time. Capt. John
