I don't fish very often (most of what I do is more like hunting with a rod and reel) but last night I dressed up in some waders and went fishing, looking for treats. I found a bunch along a drop-off on the edge of a grass flat, but only kept a few. One trout that appeared to be between 26 and 28" was very acrobatic and played a trick on me as it escaped beside the net, but that just added to the fun of the night. Cool weather and deep grass edges can be a nice combination if you don't mind shuffling along in the darkness. I was tossing a Z-man Diezel minnow in "the deal" color and ended the evening with nine trout and three reds. The three on the stringer measured 27.5, 26 and 22.5.

redfish with holes in them are easy to string-up
