First Catches in Florida - SML 10/28

Post by blackjack » Mon Oct 31, 2011 7:48 pm

Six mile landing last Friday morning. Caught my first fish since moving to Jax. Got a little 13'' black drum to start the day. Next I pulled in a 21" red. That was the highlight of the trip! Caught about 6 more small reds and then finished with another 13" black drum. Cant wait to get out there one more time this week... Ill post up some pics this evening if I can.

Congrats on your "first Florida fish" and that looks like a fun day down there!!

That pretty 9 spot redfish would have been worth some $$$ in the Times-Union Redfish Roundup...a "most spots" tourney that is run annually in JAX!!

Congrats....and here's to many more!! :thumbright:

Hey bud, very nice reds and thanks again for the pics. Glad to see you had success down there, not allways the easiest place to find it.

I caught my first red at Guana after moving here. The spots on that red are sweet!
