Red Fish Fishing - Non Yak

Just got back from Texas.  Went fishing with my relatives for Red fish and had a great time fishing while I was there.  Just want to share my first experience catching Red fish...

Head out early in the morning


Hooked my very first Red fish


Love the way it fights


Ready to land my first one of the day


My younger brother was ready with the net


It's in the net


Here is my first Red

Sonny!  This is awesome.  Fantastic stuff, Man - hanging with your brothers in Texas on the Red Fish and soon to be hanging with NCKA brothers at one of your favorite (THE favorite probably) spots on the Pacific Coast...  You're living the life right now, Brother.  Well done.  Nice one.   

Thanks Eric, I can't wait for our get together in Shelter Cove 

Just trying to make the most while I'm between jobs    We also caught other species like Sheephead, Speckle Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder...  Next time I'll try to catch them from a kayak!

Very nice Sonny. Love the action shots of the red fish. Congrats on the nice haul.

Nice Sonny. I'm glad you had a great time. The fish look real tasty.

That's cool you went out of state.  I always figured reds weren't good eating cause you always see them thrown back on tv.

That's a misconception!  IMHO Red fish is even better eating than Striper or Sheephead.  It has firm texture and a sweety taste.

Hey Sonny WTG, nice variety great to see something different.

Blackened Redfish, got so popular that they had to put some extra regs in place to protect them,

Nice report, Sonny. Action shots and cooked shots!

Very nice, Sonny!

Love seeing pics of "foreign" fish.

You're right, the limit for Bull Red is 1 and they're using the tag system like our Sturgeon tag.

As for different species, we also caught a Cobia and Jack fish from a jetty in Galveston last week.

And this is my most memorable photo of all (My brother & his son)

Cool report very cool

Thank you for your kind word calbear 

While I was fishing on the jetty, I took a picture of a cargo ship and noticed a lone kayaker on the far right.  I walked over and say "Hi" and took a closeup picture.




Next time when I return to this place, I'll be on a kayak 

WOW Sonny!  you know how to get around!!  thanks for thinking of us and those fish look like fun!!   WTClick&Post
