[quote][b]Bduv (7/28/2008)[/b][hr]Brant,

If you dont mind my asking, what are ya'll using for the reds?

I fished all afternoon yesterday on the North side of the sound. I saw a bunch of reds in 18" - 30" of water but they wouldn hit anything. Tried Gulp shrimp & jerks and gold spoons they just turned their noses up and swam away.

They are fun to watch & sneak up on but its frustrating when you cant get them to bite.

Its very tough to get the reds in Santa Rosa sound to bite. Theres alot of Pressure, alot of bait for them, and the water is very clear. I usually throw as small of a soft plastic that I can get away with. I try to go with as light of wieght as possible too.

Dont be jealous of those blues Nick. It takes a lot of skill to get them to bite. BTW 2 week from now was when we were seeing all those baby tarpon in the river. Im going start looking soon

I knew it was getting close! I sure hope they are stacked up this year because I seemed to have missed them completely at the pier.
