Only problem is if you are far enough offshore to be in international waters which is a few miles offshore you cant keep redfish anymore.

^^^ I never go offshore because :puke:  :puke:   :ugone2far:  They've extended the state water boundry http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/revised-louisiana-gulfward-boundary

 

This is not something you see every day,I've been lucky enough to witness it twice. The first time it happened we were surf fishing near Grand Isle,LA. and just after daybreak untold numbers of Pogies (baitfish) began jumping out of the water which we thought was strange but within minutes the gulf turned red as far as we could clearly see and i'd say that was 3/4's of a mile of red boiling water. Those reds herded the pogies to shore and the feeding frenzy lasted around 20 minutes....it can easily take 15 minutes to land a 30"-40" redfish on 12lb.line, between 4 of us we wound up with 2 reds from that school, one guy got "spooled" and my line broke after a long fight. Of course mine would have been the biggest one :D

I stand corrected I'm the other thread I said we surf fished in port fuchaun, it was grand isle.....

[shepp]

We these two they were over 30" then I caught the drum which damn near spooled me

[BLKSHEEP]

Oh heck yea!! I bet that was a good fight!! Those biguns are a blast to catch but when it comes to eating the 20'-24" reds are the best. leave the scales on one side of your filet,butter,lemon pepper ( whatever you like)and throw um on the pit :drool:

I noticed they are alil rubbery more like lobster

[BigP623]

Yeah the "bucket fish" are the best.  You know the ones just under the required length so you keep em in a bucket incase the game warden shows up so u can dump em realquick....LOL, but Im just kidding I would never do that.... ???

^^^^ Do'h <lmao>  me either, well not anymore but back in the day..... >:D

A Louisiana Cajun was stopped by a game warden because he had two ice

chests full of fish. He was leavin' a bayou, well-known for its fishing.





The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those

fish?'



'Naw, sir', replied the cajun. 'I ain't got none of dem there licenses.

You gotta unnerstan', dese here are my pet fish.'



'Pet fish?'



'Yeah. Evry night, I take dese here fish down to de lake and let 'em swim

'round for 'while. Den, when I whistle, dey jump right back into dis here

ice chests and I take 'em home.'



'That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that.'



The cajun looked at the warden for a moment and then said, 'It's de truth

Mr. Government Man. I'll show ya. It really works.'



'O. K.', said the warden. 'I've got to see this!'



The cajun poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.



After several minutes, the warden says, 'Well?'



'Well, what?', says the cajun.



The warden says, 'When are you going to call them back?'



'Call who back?'



'The FISH', replied the warden!



'What fish?', replied the cajun.



Moral of the story: We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we

ain't as dumb as some government employees.



You can say what you want about the South, but you never hear of anyone

retiring and moving north.
