Catching Monster Redfish in Texas

By Captain Paul Braly

Jeff and I went fishing today. We were trying to do some stretching and pre-fishing for the tough competition Texas trout series which will happen on this weekend. We both found fishing at this spot very tough this time. What saved our day was the Devil Eyes lures that we brought along.

At first, we just waded through the chosen spot, which was actually the same spot where I had full-packed actions the other day. But now it was such a dead spot for fishing except for the single wandering mullet. Jeff made his first cast with the 1/4 oz Truloc on an Amber Devil Eyes. No red was hooked up unfortunately. I did my casts of Amber as well. The first throw was also empty but after several minutes, I got my first 18" Speck for the day. After a few more minutes, we decided to move to another spot.

Jeff and I went to the second spot which was a cleaner one. I decided to put on a Dark Strawberry Blue Devil Eye while Jeff was pulling the white stink bait he had. We both jumped out of the boat with our lures and we looked for better hook-ups but there was nothing for both of us on this spot.

Then we reached a certain spot where the boat was necessary to get us to the other side. Jeff was always on the go so he brought the boat to the spot and we waded to the other side.

We continued wading through the deep water to the other side. We checked for the right spot by measuring the depth through a rod. Then we were able to find a spot and I tried casting a lure and got myself a fat redfish. Shortly, I saw Jeff casting his Devil Eyes and he got one too. After some time we both got some more redfish.

During tough fishing, it is always a good decision to bring along and use the Devil Eyes for fishing. Jeff and I used it with 10-11 o'clock triple bounce pausing every 5 seconds and then repeat the casting of lures. If you are having hard time fishing, like what we experienced, always use a bait that can stand the tough situation and make a pattern with every cast and the reds will surely bite in.
