This last week has been very fruitfull with a nice variety of fish comeing boat side.

Redfish have been eating good and my prefferd method of catching them has been to dead stick a nice chunk of fresh pin fish on the bottom.

All of the fish caught this week have been in the morning hours and in water 2 to 3 feet deep.

Along with the reds the snook,trout,mangrove snapper and bonnet head sharks have been making a nice show.

Make sure to use circle hooks when dead sticking.

I actually had a couple out this week that hooked up on the same fish at the same time. Thanks to the circle hooks the fish wasnt gut hooked and was released unharmed.
