Thanks Ham, those are some really kind words. Honestly, I can't take credit for the photo's...sometimes I'm amazed at what the Iphone does.

Snook, those are high on my list...I can't change the channel when I see someone catching them on TV. Amazing looking fish!

SELA is the place to go if you want to catch reds from a kayak. Road side access and plenty of reds to stalk. Never gets old.

I've caught reds two years now in the Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area, but it's NOTHING like what you're talking about. You can sight a few here and there, but not a lot. Moreover, if you want to have any decent success with redfish down there, it needs to be with fresh dead shrimp or gulp-type products, and you need to really know the area. I asked a guide down there if they ever catch them on spinnerbaits or swimbaits, and he said it's possible, but if you want to do that then go to Lousiana. It's a lot more waiting then it is spotting and catching. I'm dying to get down to SELA.

And yes, Drew is as hardcore as hardcore gets when it comes to fishing. I'm not sure anyone can say they work as hard as he does. Driving around the clock for a day of fishing, bringing your running shoes on a float trip so you can run back to the truck when you're done....crazy stuff.

Thx Kyle, I tried OB, just not the same. Nothing like LA for reds. I've started taking my family there for our beach vacations bc they like sand and I like to fish...it's worked out last 2 years. You're more than welcome on any trip.
