Spotless Red

[Gulfcoast13]

Went out and fished yesterday afternoon and managed to find a few fish and kept three for tonights dinner. The wind had the bay tore up around Camp Wardens Bayou, but out on the deeper reefs it was much better.

Anyways we kept a 22" red w/not spots (maybe a croaker??), 15" flounder and a 19" flounder. All the fish were caught in three feet of water over scatterd shell and mud with gulp swimming mullet, lime..

I have never seen a red with no spots or a croaker that big. I did not even notice it until I got hm. I got it in the boat measured it and it hit slot, so in the live well it went.

Tight lines..

Very cool red there without spots!

In the Galveston Daily News Joe Kent fishing report, he mentions that. Cool.

From Joe Kent's report in GDN:

Joe Denke Jr. landed his second spotless red fish during the weekend while fishing at the jetties, as reported by his father, Joe Denke Sr. Also on the trip was Denke’s future son-in-law, Jarrett, who caught a 36-inch bull red to round out the catch. Not a bad day on the water.

While spotless reds have been — note I said “have been” — considered very rare, more and more are cropping up. We will address this further in a future edition of the Reel Report.

Looks like a red. But, even if it is a croaker, that is one nice fish. Thanks for sharing!

FYI...

I talked with Barbarra yesterday from Lutes and she said the invitational was going to be at the end of October. She also said her son is going to hold a tournament out there in October (one of the first two weekends) and you can qualify for the invitational by placing in his tournament.

Good luck, I will be trying to let the air out of a big ole' buck the first two of October, but I will make the invitational. Hope to see you all out there.
