Been seeing some schools of Big Reds off of Georgetown. Most of these fish are following the menhaden. Been taking customers and having days of 15 - 30 fish in the 10 - 40 lb range. Pics from Saturday.

The bottom fish hit the tape at 51" - big girth. I didn’t put her on the boga. I would guess 40 something lbs…

Yes, we could see the reds. At a distance my first thought was a school of rays. When I put the trolling motor down and moved closer I could see reds rushing through the purple mass of menhaden. We used medium tackle 20 lb gear, 6/0 circle , 90 lb flouro leader.
