Huntin' for Reds

On the hunt for reds, still haven't gotten one all year. Same tactics as last year, early morning fishing, hitting known redfish spots near Grant and Sebastian. Mostly using live shrimp on jigs and freeline, with 8 to 10 lb mono test with 15 lb fluor. Trying some of the gulp 5" jerk shad in chartreuse and white with a jig, gold spoons, D.O.A shrimp, no luck. I usually target reds first thing, between 6:30 and 9:30, water temperature has been pretty darn warm even then, at least 81. Next time I go for reds, i'll be targeting some deeper water near the flats, maybe they're keeping cool here.

Oh, here's my brother Brian catching a slimy sailcat. We both caught one on the day, quite a fight on 8 lb test, bit of a let down when we got them to the boat though.
