Aransas Pass - limit of reds

Post by Gotta Catch Em All »

Headed to the usual spot and knew it was going to be a good day when I immediately saw 4 to 5 tails poking out of the water in some stirred up water. It took a few casts but finally they noticed the DOA shrimp.

The bite cooled off and I was only catching rat reds so I picked up and moved to another locale. Wanted to kick back too so I picked up some live shrimp on the way. The "structure" was scattered grass beds next to a channel which provided route for fish to get around a small island. The water was murkier and deeper than usual but the upper slot reds were here. Here's the last one I caught, 27".

That's a solid tournament red right there; nice job.

Not too familiar with the spot you caught the keeper reds, guess I better get back out exploring AP.

Reds still seem schooled up. Its been either a limit or nada lately for me
Just keep moving around. Cut mullet has been the best for us, off the reef a ways in the potholes
Going to probably hit Steadmans at some point Friday if the winds let us.
