So all of the reports I have read have been saying that the bulls are running. I was wondering if some of the bait shops were open down in the Galvestion area, and if so which ones are the best to go to. Do you know if any have live table sized crabs? Some tips on where to go (on the beach, jetti) would also be helpful if someone is willing to give up a good spot

How do you rig them Tiny? No wonder I've never caught one ... You keep them live? If I'm surf fishing I'm usually throwing out a 6-8 OZ spider weight with a single hook and leader.... The weight slides a little on the leader to allow some play in the bait
What type of setup do you use? Do you ever target them in the surf or do you mainly go to the deeper water, channels and inlets?We are West End Anglers, a saltwater tribe!

Coe, I have always fished the surf for them with the same setup you are describing. Had good luck, but this was on the east coast in North Carolina. I would assume it would work well in the surf here as well. I have 2 big surf rods that I used waiting to get back in action for some monster bull reds or sharks."For those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know."

Never a bull red???
They are fun to catch. Live mullet will surely do the trick on them. Paddle out like you have, just use mullter instead. We usually cast from the beach, wade out about knee depp and throw it as far as possible. Thats how we did in NC at least.
I want to find a few good bull reds this year."For those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know."

I will probably go to the jetti friday afternoon (dang school), and see what happens. Then on saturday my buddy got a guide (he paid) so there is no telling where we will go then. Hopefully lots of bulls in the near future for all of us!!!!
