Had a fun trip out of Bushy. Just a few hours till dusk.
3rd cast (released)
One of 7 reds most near the upper slot, no real big ones today
The reds were absolutely hammering the jigs today, like they wanted to rip the rod out of my hand. Fun stuff. 73F is the optimium temp for a redfish I think
Had this real nice riverine striper at 26". Love this time of year!
Had one more striper hit a topwater 3x and miss. One of the best topwater strikes you can get is a striper IMO
Doug the 1/8 oz is optimum for the TTs but of course other weights work as well. These jigs are 3/16 because they are what we consider the best weight for inshore fishing in general. There is value in getting “dialed in” to a certain setup and make it work for different situations. That’s what I do anyway.
