Fishing Rods

well done.
how do you like your Megabass Griffon Zero cranks.

Nice fish SD! Interesting spot on the tail of the second fish. Maybe it wants to be a redfish.

Photography tip: have the subject always face the sun when taking a pic so it sheds light on your subject.

I too am a big fan of the He70MLC. I originally bought it for use as a speckled trout saltwater rod to be forgiving to the trout's easily tearing mouths. I now use it quite a bit for casting 1/4oz and 3/8oz crankbaits and topwaters with light line for fishing for bass in open clear water lakes. I really really like the He70MLC.

LOL Chavez, thanks.. yeah.. I know all about backlighting and all, but when you're out on the water, and the bite is on, you just want to get the photo snapped and get your line back in the water, ya know?

Yeah, I know. Take my cousin who I fish with on the coast every chance I get. Here's his pic from this weekend. He too was too excited to remember the photography tip.

Those reds must be such a kick! How does that one rank in size? average? above average? below average?

SD

That's my cousin not me. I believe he said it was a 30" red but a fat one as it weighed more than the 34 1/2" red he caught the last time I was there on the weekend before Labor day weekend.

The legal slot size here in Texas for redfish is 20" - 28" with a bag daily limit of three. If you decide to keep one above 28" you must properly tag him with the redfish tag supplied with your license.

Believe it or not that fish is relatively small compared to the real biguns out there where 44" and greater are sometimes found schooling out past the surf and the oil rigs.

They put up a heck of a fight though and are tasty though the oversized ones less so. I would much prefer going after a 30" speckled trout as opposed to a 30" redfish simply because they are harder to catch in most instances and not as common at that size.
