Big Redfish, This Never Happens To Me!

Post by fishingmanreggie »

Took out the kayak and fished Galveston West Bay starting off in the Marsh. Aggressive Ladyfish were hitting. Moved out over the reefs and just hit Rat Reds. Went shallow again and hooked up with a really nice Redfish. Caught a keeper Flounder in the Marsh. Ended up with a Texas Slam.

Check out the video.

Great job. What part of West Bay, and what were you throwing at them?

Diss them all you want, but I love catching ladyfish on light tackle. Unless they're gobbling up all my $20 a quart shrimp...

I was using mostly Gulp swimming mullets in Glow. The ladyfish were tearing up the ends or cutting my line. But I do love their fight. Just not a fan of going through a container of gulp dealing with them. I fished the Marsh area around 8Mile and Confederate Reef. The Flounder I caught and the Redfish I missed was in the Marsh. I do a lot of Flounder fishing and post videos on the YouTube channel. Check it out.

dues all paid up - that's what gets big fish
same way you get jacks and kings on a fly rod, putting in enough time to randomly hit that perfect day

Most excellent video love the cheering of the crowd and what I would term Eddie Murphy-esque humor! Looking forward to more videos of your fishing Adventures!

Thanks again for posting the video!

Thanks guys! I put a lot of effort into the videos. I’m getting the hang of the editing part. It takes more effort than the fishing. I’ve fished all of my life. Please don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell so you can get notified on new videos. Everything I do is G Rated, especially since my 3 boys and wife are involved in a lot of my time on the water. Sharing my YouTube with your buds would be really cool and much appreciated as well. Tight lines.
