Fished Long Key State Park 11/21 to 11/25

Post by Crusader84 »

Hi All,

Been a member here for a while, just never had much to post about.

I went camping at Long Key State Park over the Thanksgiving break. Caught two slot redfish, at night, on 11/21 and 11/22. My friend caught the same on the same nights as well.

Lots of bait around, cast netting got us mullet and sardines. Hooked a couple of bonnetheads and a juvenile nurse shark. Also caught an assortment of small barracuda, grunts, and needlefish.

The redfish were caught fishing off the beach on the incoming tide using a chicken rig. Bait was fresh ballyhoo and mullet.

Great report and very interesting that you got redfish especially 4. Must be a school there hanging out
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.
