Texas Bull Redfish

[redfishgirl]

I figured I would post a few pics:) The first two are my first bull from a yak and a couple others from a surf tourny I was in:)

[noname]

looks similar to what we call jew, jewies, mullaway, down here. good size and so close the shore too.

what do you use to catch them??! pretty awesome fish...what bait?..live or dead?..or lures?

thanx for sharing..post more!..interesting to see fish from afar

[redfishgirl]

Most are caught with cut mullet and sometimes crabB) but that is for the big bulls, The smaller fish that are 20-28 inches are called slot sized fish. Those are legal to keep, we can only keep one fish a year the size in the pic:cheer: The slot fish will hit just about anything you cast at them:side: :fishing:

[shortie]

1 fish per year. now thats got to be impossible to police

[Angus]

Nice one Dana!

Thanks for sharing.

Those slot size fish... good eating?

Angus

[redfishgirl]

Only one fish over 28inches, and we don't eat the big ones anywayB) Slot fish rules let us take three fish a day:) I caught a bull a few months ago and spent 30 min trying to revive it and it wasn't going to happen:( So I ended up taking it to the taxie so it will be with me foreverB) The funny thing is most of the guys I fish with don't even eat fish:ohmy: I don't either, We just C P R;)

Nice fish! I think those bullreds turn up about now, if not in the very near future in large numbers around Texas.

They have a resemblance to our Jews etc, but the reds look like they are a much more solid fish. Suppose to be a pretty good fight! Some of the TSF guys target the bull reds in winter/late winter before the sharks start coming back on

We call it a Texas Sleigh Ride:silly: Once you get hooked up, unhook the anchor and WHOOSH, goneB) And if you don't unhook the anchor they will pull you and your anchor around:woohoo:

[redfishgirl]

Galveston BabyB) But I fish Matagorda and High Island for the big fish most of the time:) I fish my home waters for keeper fish:cheer: In fact I am camping at Matty this weekend for some BTB for bull reds, big uglies and sharks. If the weather is not good for BTB I have revenge to attend to with our "flatties" :evil:

[redfishgirl]

Here are a few pics from the last Matty report I have found, she went over seven feetB) Gonna try to catch this one from the yak:ohmy: :laugh:

[Terry H]

Decent fish for the texas coast.

Is that a pregnent sandbar shark, or am I missing the species completely?

[redfishgirl]

I think you are dead onB) But I have not talked to the guy

that caught her so I am not positive:cheer:
