| Went out gigging with my buddy Tanner, on saturday night i got off work at 9pm, and we had the boat set up and in the water at Navy Point by 10 pm.... well, we covered a hell of a lot of water... we pushed for about 6 hours and only gigged 4.... i missed a real good'n ... he was a bit far to my right, and instead of just repositioning the boat and getting closer, i tried to whack 'em from about 12 feet away... that was a mistake... i missed like no other... after about 3 hours and passing by several redfish, i grabbed my inshore rod and started sight-fishing reds as we poled along... we caught 12 between the 2 of us... tally for the night, 4 flounder (biggest just under 4lbs...) 3 trout 12 redfish (kept 2, 26"ers) 8 mullet.

Did you wait until you got a little ways past the Reds and just cast back to them? I've always wondered how soon after you passed over them with the lights that they might be willing to bite again?

we were seeing them on the edges of the lights... i actually had one about 5 feet from the boat eat a jig... the light really didn't spook them too much..

I'm definately gonna try it. I did put a rod in the boat one night in case the floundering was slow and never got a break to use it. I was kind of under the assumption that once you spooked them with the light that it would take a while before they they bit again but I guess not. Thanks for the info!!!
