This fish was caught on an exceptionally calm morning a few miles south of Matlacha. He was part of a nice tailing school just under the mangroves in an area called the Mud Hole. I'm not sure why it's called that since the bottom is very hard and surrounded by oyster beds. It's a very easy spot to bust a prop on low tide, especially right now with our water stained so dark after all the rains. The redfishing has been great in between the storms but with Hurricane Ike coming that might change for a while. Reds are my favorite species to catch up here around Pine Island. They're great fighters that eat almost anything, and they taste fantastic. This one, a legal 22 inch fish, came home with us for lunch.
