Bull Reds By the Dozen 10-18-09

[Sneekypete]

I had a few guy's from work join me for a morning half day trip yesterday 10-18-09.We started around 8 am and finished off around 11:30 with 30 bull reds caught and released.Most of the fish came on squid, cut mullet and live pinfish.The biggest fish was around 35 lbs and ate a big pinfish on bottom.The area we fished was about a 1/2 mile out of the surfside jetties in 35 feet of water,concentrating on bait and rip currents.Look for diving pelicans and be sure to chum to hold the fish.Pictures to follow.

You go Petey boy nice trip,I called Rick yesterday and boy was he excited ,he told me they moved him to the front of the boat he was schooling them and he won big fish!

Thanks for the report dude! I am going to try to get in on some bullred action soon. I was wondering about chumming since they are bottom scent feeders. Hopefully the winds will lay enough to take out the kayak and go after them.

Question about that area: Is the gulf side of the Quintana jetty protected from SE wind and waves?

[Sneekypete]

No the SE winds will blow directly into the quintana jetty....The sea's were rough yesterday and we still were able to catch'em.chumming will hold all the other little fishes and the bulls won't be far behind.Use an egg sinker with a swivel and a circle hook.Let the fish set the hook... just reel toward the fish when he hits and you'll catch em in the corner of the mouth and it'a an easy release and you won't harm or kill any brood fish,

[Milkjug]

Ahh thanks. Seems like the two jetties there point pretty much SE so I kind of doubted either would hold protected water from that wind direction. Might have to do it from the rocks since my buddy wants to go tomorrow.
