 Working the afternoon shift today so decided to out for some dawn patrol redfish. Arrived at Eglin at 6 am and the water was glass except for all the tails swirling. Waded out and dropped the first popping cork with dead shrimp in the middle of the swarm. By 6:15 had my first Red on and he ended up being a slot at 22". Was planning on releasing him due to the large number of fish in the sand holes, but he had swallowed the hook and cut his gills on retrieval. Kept him for the grill  and was home by 8:30 to see my son head to his second day of Pre K. Second picture is of my 2 year daughter inspecting dads catch.

Thats awesome, I also enjoy fishing on Eglin. Do you mind if I ask you what part? I usually hit postal point, bear creak and ben's lake.

I wade fish mainly around Fam camp just east of the marina and sometimes by postal point around the inlet and docks.
