Began the fishing day at 0800 with temp about 48. The bay was as smooth
as a pond and the sun was shining very nicely, thank you. The high was
above 70 degrees.

Fished around the Battleship Alabama for a while with a zero score and
moved to the Choctaw Pass Reef near Little Sand Island. Also unproductive
except for a couple of white sand trout.

Moved to the Spanish River North of I-10 and gave that a try. Nothing
untll low tide around 1015. Then the Reds started hitting. We fished
until about 1400 and limited out for three people. Caught a lot of very
nice Reds of which many were undersised or oversized. The largest keeper
was about 29 inches and will be perfect grilled on the half shell.

Winter fishing here can be very productive and a lot of fun. I love it
despite being hit by Katrina and Ivan.
