Beautiful day on the Bay **Texas fishing report

We hook a lot of 16" to 19" redfish that we have to throw back and we have gone to circle hooks for that reason. I even hang shad and shrimp plastic tails on them and they work great under the lights. I make no attempt to thread the hook into the tails like you would with a straight hook because that does make them swim weird. You would not think that plastic would "swim" well on a circle hook but I've got a freezer full of fish that say they do. I'll often put a tiny split lead just above the hook to get a little more cast distance and to allow the tail to swim lower. Looks like it's going to be a great year of fishing on Galveston Bay. |
