sorry mate, been home tending the fishies in da cold - can't wait to go if this freezing crap would just stop for ONE weekend! unbelieveable!

how far can you go offshore (or do you)? i may have a couple of coords for you to try (if I can't get there first) - picked them up from a guy last week who assures me the fish are stacked like cordwood at these two locs (yeah, right)

strickly yakkin, so shallows or mile or two offshore...tried both this week but no luck...headin over to west bay later this morning
 
Try dragging some chartreuse/orange stretch Rapalas between 4-5 knots along the outer sandbar edges......it's not the most exciting fishing perhaps, but it certainly produces. Once you find the school, you can begin targeting them with light tackle grubs, jigs and even topwater poppers and flies. Once they begin to see enough activity, it's no problem to get them to the surface. There have also been some pretty reliable fishing around the cones (near the pass) as well as around the mouth of Joe's Bayou. These reds have been pretty much within the 25-40 lb. bracket, but if you want to find some keeper sized reds, try the back of Destin Harbour, there have been some 3-5 lb. guys back in there.

I would post some photos of the past few weeks, but my photos are too large. You may have to trust me on this........I hope it helps. Good luck.
