Many thanks to jbdba01's report. Went out Sunday at sunrise to fish the incomming tide at Perico bayou. There were huge schools of mullets working the grass. I started off early with a Sabiles Still shad. After casting about 999 times then removing grass from fouled hooks about 1001 times I transitioned to asoft plastic with a paddle tail behind a white 1/4 oz jig head. I saw something good busting the edges of one of the schools of mullet. After a stealthy coast in I made a cast accross the middle of the school and began retrieving the lure. About half way though the school the rod bent over and the drag screamed. A little while later I had a 267/8 red on board. Not only was he fun to catch....he was in the slot. Last night he made a great meal!
We will be staying on Holmes beach for the week, so I'm hoping the luck continues.

Nicely done...

When I was there even my weedless stuff wasn't weedless. Se la vi...

You can find little areas over there where the grass isn't so bad. Love that spot.

I went back yesterday afternoon,trying to avoid the rain. I started cocentraiting on the edges of portholes in the grass. Caught one small trout
and then came a flood of biblical praportions. Putting the kayaks back on top of a honda pilot when it is raining so hard you cant see is a little bit of a challenge. In the end, there was no external place on me that wasn’t drenched and I'm not sure about some of the internal spots
