I heard that the reds were biting in East Bay so my brother and I went on Saturday looking for.... big trout. Not surprisingly, all we found were redfish.... they were everywhere.

Here's a pic of the biggest one which went 28" (released). We caught a few more and kept 2 @ 24" for the grill.

All fish caught on pearl/chartreuse Corky's and bone Catch 2000's.... we probably could have caught them on tails but it was easier casting the heavier baits into the wind.

Nice catch. Watch out for that big oil glob behind you. It'll take lotsa soap to wash the stain off the boat from it!!

It's the rolling fog bank of anonymity -- always shows up just in time to hide your fishing spots when somebody busts out a camera!

Nice report! Glad you guys found em!

Good catch... but seriously why the blackout?

I think this is FishWestEnd's first blacked out photo!

Say it isn't true... I always said I'd delete a photo posted like that... this was going to be the homepage image of the week but I can't put that on our homepage send me the unedited version!
