    Very nice photos and fish. Are you using live bait to catch those fish? Sure wish I could get my photos to turn out that nice.

    Thanks guys.
    Those fish were caught while using cut menhaden and live shrimp.

    Do you guys cast plastics for them at certain times of the year? Every once and a while I see a show on TV where they are pitching plastics and jigs for them.

    Yeah Mike,,,I use a lot of Gulp in the winter.

    There is no way in hell I would set on a block of ice and try to catch a fish! NO WAY!

    Nice fish Capt. Rick, thats about the size we used to catch in the surf in Galveston bay. Live shrimp were the ticket sometimes because they weren’t hitting silver minnows. Guys would come in with their boats and be out on the 5th or 6th underwater dune catching the big bull reds. The bottom of the seabed was duned like a washboard and they just had to hunt for them and in what dip in that washboard.

    Do the specs bite better during the fall and winter Rick?, they did in texas.

    Nice camera Rick, I know the glass is the most important part then comes the body. The lenses are about 80% of a good camera and you have to spend some bucks to get a good quality camera with good lenses. If your building a camera and only have so much money get a cheaper body and spend the money on the glass. What are those parts worth Rick, about $4,000?, nice setup!
