Rich Gidrey, Tony D, our main cameraman, and I headed out for a day on the water. We had Piggy Perch and Croaker on board for some rod bending action.
We started out in the Laguna area of Corpus Christy. We ran to the Pita area and caught 5 keeper but unimpressive Specks. Rich and I had a business meeting on the water and we decided to run 30 miles south to fish the rocks and structure of Baffin Bay.
This move paid off big time. We had double hook ups and serious fish of caliber. We had one 28 inch trout a 24 inch trout and some really sweet oversized reds.
Anglers Note:
If you are not in fish of caliber and you have the time. Change the plan and cover water to find the better fish. We hammered down the throttle of the Evinrude 250 E Tec and let her eat. We ran at 55-60 MPH in the southern direction and ran for 35 minutes to get to the first area we fished. We targeted the barrier islands that lined the Intercoastal Waterway.
There we caught a few nice Reds and some schoolie trout. We looked across the waterway and the Rocks of Baffin were screaming at us. We began to work shorelines and we found the fish of caliber that we were looking for.
Rich and I were on fire with oversized Redfish on every cast. I am not exaggerating, every cast with a Piggy was on a Red over 28 inches. It was an isolated shoreline area with rocks jetting out into the water. We got broke off regularly but the Rod Bending was amazing. We released 15 oversized Reds.
You will see it on Fox Southwest and on our next DVD. Look for it at Academy Sports and Outdoors shortly.
Thanks for your time today, and we’ll see you on the water.
Dave
