I was not fishing for reds, normally we just catch yellowtails from the
dock. As far as posted fishing regulations, I had to drive 10 miles to
buy bait and it never occured to me that she would catch Redfish. This
place has some civilization but no stores or other places where the
regs are posted.
I was using a very light casting reel made for very small fish and have
no idea how to rig anything other than a simple hook and split shot
sinkers.
She got excited cuz on New Yrs eve, we were at a party at the dock and
she was trying to fish with Hors Doevres (ham) when she saw all the
mullet jumping. I told her that mullet were vegetarians and wouldnt
take any meat so she wanted to fish with a cucumber. She finally
caught a catfish using ham but it got away.
