quick fishing overnighter tville

Went out last night with some friends to try and stir some big black drum, the current and heavy weed flow made it impossible.
So we decided to go ahead and camp on a near by island so we could get up early and search for some red fish.
Finally got to test out my knotty inspired gathered end with elastic cord mod out over night.

Forecast called for morning winds of 3 to 5 mph.
They were wrong most of the morning it was blowing at about 18mph.

The wind did finally end up dying down long enough for me to land this beauty 25.5 in red.

FWC was kind enough to stop us and verify the size for us.

Nicely done!!

Nice catch. Looking forward to my next trip to FL to hang with my Dad and do some fishing myself.

I'd say that was a successful weekend!

Very nice... I like overnighters with 25" fish.

Nice fish, Red's are good eating. This makes me mis my home town of Corpus Christi Texas.
