[cool][blue][size 1]I have fished reds all around the coast from northern Florida to Corpus Christi, TX. They are a ton of fun and great eatin'[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Here are two pics of a batch of mixed redfish and sea trout from the canals below New Orleans. Great place to launch a float tube and be totally out of boat traffic, but surrouded by fish. Had some 100 fish days. They aren't as pretty pink as those Indian River reds, but they stretch your string and bend your stick.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Note the multiple spots on the tails of a couple of those reds in the picture. I released a small one once that must have had well over twenty spots on it. The biggest red in the pics was 33" and 13.5 pounds. That's a lot of fish on freshwater bass gear but it's just a baby compared to the30 to 40 pounders they get outside in the open waterways.[/size][/#0000ff]
