I think we’re going to skip the steaks and just fish, well, and drink. Reds, black drum, gaf top, mackerel, and little stuff we can’t identify. Wearing out the tape measure and keeping about half.

Fished there for over 40 years. Loved the incoming tide near the bridge.

Love the big jetties down there. You can catch reds in 40 feet of watered off just off the north. You'll need a good anchor.

Port O is my favorite but you can’t get a house like this down there. We’re more about unwinding than great fishing on this trip.

Reds are great cooked skin and scales. Had trouble filleting until I watched a guide at SPI do it. Start just like you filet any fish but don't try to cut through the ribs. Grab the tail and pull it over the head while the ribs are still attached.

Reds were incidental with me. I learned too late that you could do the same thing with a good size speck fillet.

Nice stringer. We only caught one speck and it was a throw back.
