The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Some locals were castnetting mullet when I arrived that night,and their net was so full,three of them couldn't lift it up to the catwalk.I helped them haul it up,and they gave me some.
A real cool guy from NY told me to if I put a mullet head on the bottom,the odds were good for a bull red.The head wasn't on the bottom for more than 5 minutes before this monster tried to take it to Cuba.NYguys dad had a bridgenet,and helped land it.They laft after we landed it,so with no bridgenet,on the catwalk,I quit fishing. |

Damn, Bob, I could've been 3 for 3 on that call - I figured mullet or maybe even a big select live shrimp meant for a big snook
The whole Indian River area is da place for big hog reds - if you get back, also try bait in that backwater that runs out through the inlet, same set-up as our breachways... 
Big snook around there too but if the water isn't eat least 70, you'll never see 'em
Check out Florida Sportsman magazine - it's pretty good and covers the whole state spot by spot and it'll give you a leg up next time with more info |

Good luck on the trip. Look forward to the pics. I leave for a week in Miami on Monday. Unfortunately, working all week and no time to fish. |
