High Island Dirty Pelican Report 9/22

[Scrumptrelecent]

I ended up catching my first and second bull red and two 5'-6' blacktips. All fish were caught in 17' of water. The shrimp boats were active and there was a pod of dolphins following them around. All sharks were caught under a balloon rig with mullet and reds were caught on a bottom rig with mullet.

Hey, I'm staying on bolivar pen this week. I'd love to go out with someone if anybtrips planned...?

Nice! what size mullet were you throwing? I went Saturday and was throwing finger mullet but I only went about 100-200 yards out and would only get hard heads.. I did have one bigger size mullet about 8 inches and that's what I caught my bull on. I was wondering if I had gone out further if the hard heads/gafftop wouldnt be as thick?

Thanks. I think it resembles a four leaf clover. It was my good luck charm.

I was cutting a horse mullet up into thirds and used a 14/0 circle hook (with the barb ground off). I didn't catch any gaftops though I think I had a few messing with my bait. I had some short light runs which I figured was catfish trying to steal my bait.
