Capt Rick Hiott · 10-31-2009, 08:45 PM

Long story short,,,I took the wife and a buddy of mine that works at Sea//Tow out fishing today.
I tried a few new spots and the last one we went to paid off.
We ended up with eight red drum, with the largest one at 40" long.
The fish were caught on menhaden and mullet.
