Summary: Tailing Redfish, JGF Tales and Reports Podcast Episode 025 This week we have some great guests that will take us on a journey to catch some nice redfish. The fall season has begun and that means the Bull reds have started their run along the Texas Coastal Bend. I stopped by the Packery Channel Jetty & Port A Jetty and found some nice redfish catches that we hope you enjoy at JustGoFishin Tales. Cookie Vela catches a 44 inch bull redfish at the Port A Jetty. We were able to catch it on video and create this short clip. We hope you enjoy.... These beauty's are sought after by all sport anglers for there size and fight they give. Oversized Reds are catch and release while limits are placed on catches in the slot. You'll need to check your local State regulations. Captain David Rogers, Winter Springs Florida Slobberknockers is what David calls these mammoth bull redfish. They hit so hard slobber comes out of there mouth. Winter Springs Florida at the Mosquito Lagoon is David favorite place to fish these days. www.aaahawgwildcharters.com The Mosquito Lagoon is a closed estuary and has only one access point to bay. 90% of the fish are residents and don't migrate outside of the bay. There are about 11 schools of monster redfish that Captain Rogers tracks and has lots of success with his clients. Captain Scott McCune, Rockport Texas The Saltwater Cowboy gives his insights on fishing the pot holes & drop-offs for redfish in the Rockport Texas area. Shares a few stories on a few of his last trips out with his clients and their success. thesaltwatercowboy.com Enjoys fishing from Corpus Christi Bay, Redfish Bay, Aransas Bay to San Antonio Bay systems. Grant Coppin, Corpus Christi Texas Fishing the Northern Laguna Madre, Grant has a great time fishing for redfish while sight casting the flats. www.backlashcharters.com Primarily fishes from Pure Oil to the Corpus Christi Bay. Be sure to check out JustGoFishin Tales where we feature some great catches. Recently at the Packery Channel & the Port A Jetty. // Texas Game Warden Watch with Chuck Ford The State Record for a Redfish is 59 1/2 inches long and 54 1/2 lbs by Artie Longron on January 30, 2000. It's important to know that if you catch an oversized redfish and decide to keep it, you must tag it immediately. This tagged redfish will not be counted as part of your daily bag of three in the slot. If you think that you have a record fish, here is the process it takes to be recognized: Obtain an Angler Recognition Award Application Take fish to an official Scaler for fish to be weighed & measured. Take fish to a Certified Biologist to identify species. Compete the entire form and mail to Austin for recognition. (Of course... Send a picture to JustGoFishin ;o) Be sure give us your feedback… our guests as well as JustGoFishin would love to here from you your comments, feedback and suggestions. Come see us on our Facebook page! Also, Enroll your fishing website to our online fishing directory. Y’all have a great day of fishin, Dave Alexander This weeks Photos courtesy of David Rogers, Scott McCune and Grant Coppin
