Yep! I know better. Darn. For the sake of filming I was trying to make the fight shorter. Not smart. Especially considering nothing much more fun than fighting those things out with lighter gear and medium drag! Not gonna let that happen again!
Thanks! Hadn’t been out there at dusk before. So good when everything calms down and you can detect it all on the water. Gotta get back there asap. So fun. Might try Henderson this week if water levels off and maybe starts dropping again. Good luck to you as well. Cheers.
Did you happen to catch any bass at Reggio? I caught 2 or 3 the last few trips but have not figured out a pattern on targeting them. I caught them in same areas as redfish.
No bass! Thought for sure I would catch some. This day overall was slower than previous trips recently. I think too many storms. Still such an awesome area. And when I have caught bass down there, it’s been when I’m in the Schooner Canal and casting into the little cuts and ditches that go back into the ponds and marsh. Some of those little cuts are deeper and that’s where those bass sit. Seems also like further down the canal the better. But I’m still learning. Good luck and hope to cross paths again. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! And yes, Vermillion Parish is closest to me and I’m always wanting to search and learn more. Much appreciated. I will send over a message. Hope to get down there before summer is over! Good luck and thanks again!
Yep. Once it was bent, I should have replaced. Love the smaller spoons, but they definitely need a beefier hook! All said, hope I hook into some hook benders like that again soon. Cheers!
100% agree on the drag setting. I like to say "Don't hoss him......"

Nice reds! Perfect day, that cloud cover kept the heat at bay. Really cool sight fishing on the way in also. Great video!
Thanks!

@ThePentUpAngler Yeah man, hit me up on Facebook. I'm always on the water.
The hooks on those spoons aren't the best either.
