Break of dawn cloudy and cool. Live croaker in the Mississippi River 30lb plus red fish stripping on the drop. Nonstop action tossing in Big Reds for blacken red fish and half shell grillings. Then a stop by the beach in the Gulf of Mexico had schools of 20-24" young reds on fire. 5-6 reds chasing the one you reel in. Scott and the group on two boats laughing in unbelief of the best trip of red fishing ever. Mangrove snapper and spanish mackerel trying to beat the reds to the bait. Live shrimp and croakers had em furious for the lines. Trout are showing up in the river as well. Fish are furious in October.
