Anybody tells you redfish magic spinnerbaits don't work they're lying!! I left the dock this morning at about 6:30 and stayed in the Diversionary Canal the whole time I was out. The water was 82.5 and green. I started out chasing reds along the grass and had a fish in the boat on about the 3rd cast. I was throwing a pearl R.M. Spinnerbait and I only picked up the other rod that I rigged with a gulp jerk shad once. I caught 10 or so rat reds -- one keeper at 21" and one at 27". Put the 27 back to fight another day. Got to the spot where I can normally manage a few trout and caught a schoolie from 12 - 14 inches on just about every cast for about 20 minutes. Started trolling back towards the house and picked up a 16" flounder followed by a 17" trout. I lost a really nice flounder at the boat ~20" fiddling around trying to get the net under it. All fish except one speck caught on the spinnerbait. Called it a day at about 9:15 and took off for the house. Awesome day and I left before it got hot! Ran past about a 6 or 8 foot gator on the way to the dock.

Very nice on the slam. Where on the Div do you find 'em? I've had the best luck on some of the marsh drains on the west side about 1/2 way down from the Hitchcock ramp to the north shore. Have also done well back into the lake where the 3 channels come together.
Again, very nice!
