Stopped at Rusty Bucket Baithouse, New Port Richey Main Street to pick up some pinfish with the intent to head down to Fred Howard Causeway to check out Red Tide….

After getting a couple dozen pins (nice price I might add!) headed down and caught the middle of an incoming tide.

Water is still slightly dis-colored but was moving at a pretty good clip- we just had a New Moon on Sunday, so that was to be expected.

Out of the gate, caught a nice frisky 25” Snook out in front of one the bridges, followed up by a lot of Mangrove Snappers…

Action slowed for what ever reason until the tide turned to outgoing then all hell broke loose as I caught 6 Redfish (pins again) biggest was 23”.

Pins were all hooked through the front snout and free lined with just a small ‘clam bullet sinker’, no float.

Snook and Redfish that were caught were either caught out in front of the bridges with the tide or under the bridge about 25’ back.

Had 2 ‘mongo attacks’ that eventually broke off under the bridges – I will be shopping for heavier outfits.

‘A good time was had by all’ except the two mongo’s that will have sore lips tonight
